About Veritas seconds: this stock of our #4 1/2 smoothing plane (05P2371) has some minor cosmetic flaw – a scratch, a pit in the casting or tiny blemishes – but the plane is functionally perfect. Quantities of seconds are limited and expected to sell out quickly.
An excellent plane for the final smoothing of a surface already worked by other planes or a thickness planer. It has the mass needed for an effective smoother.
Like all our Veritas bench planes, the #4 1/2 smoothing plane incorporates a frog that extends all the way to the sole. This unique design provides complete blade support, reducing chatter, and allows quick mouth adjustment. It can be closed to a narrow slit for fine shavings and minimum tear-out, or opened for heavier cuts, all without removing the lever cap or other parts; just loosen two screws and set the opening with the thumb wheel.
The body is fully stress-relieved ductile cast iron. The surface-ground 10" × 2 7/8" sole is flat and square to the sides, with extra-large side wings for stable shooting. The hardwood front knob and rear tote provide excellent control and comfort. A combined feed and lateral adjustment mechanism make blade setting easy and accurate. The 2 3/8" wide lapped blade is a full 1/8" thick, made of PM-V11 tool steel.
Patented. Made in Canada.
