Veritas Low-Angle Block Plane

This low-angle block plane is a delight to use. With its 12° bed angle, it excels at end-grain work.
The tall side wings are ideal for shooting, and finger grips in the sides improve control. The combined blade advance and lateral adjust is the most sensitive, accurate adjustment mechanism available. Two guide screws prevent blade shifting. The ductile cast iron body can take hard knocks, and the adjustable nosepiece does not extend past the body, so it cannot be driven into the blade if you drop the plane. The plane is machined to exacting standards, the milled sides and sole surface ground to a fine finish.
Each includes a chatterfree 25° blade in A2, O1 or PM-V11 tool steel. For working difficult wood, lapped 38° and 50° bevel blades are available separately.
Made in Canada.
With the standard 25° blade, the cutting angle is 37° (12° bed + 25° bevel). This low angle excels at end-grain work. Lapped 38° and 50° bevel blades are available separately for working difficult or highly figured grain.
Yes. The tall side wings are machined to an accurate 90° angle relative to the sole, and the wide wing surface provides a stable reference face for shooting board use.
The Veritas Low-Angle Block Plane is available with a 25° blade in A2, O1, or PM-V11 tool steel. Lapped 38° and 50° bevel blades are available separately for use on difficult wood.
A single combined mechanism controls both blade advance and lateral adjustment simultaneously. This design is described as the most sensitive and accurate adjustment available on a block plane. Two guide screws keep the blade from shifting during cuts.
