Description:

block plane is one of the finest planes that Veritas have ever made. 4 years of design work culminates in a superb plane made to exacting standards and featuring newly refined stainless-steel hardware.

The knob and wheel have elegant elliptical knurled edges for a firm grip. The lever cap has been extensively redesigned to integrate cleanly with the plane body and provide an almost continuous hand contact surface, with tactile cues for finger placement. The Norris-type adjuster mechanism combines feed and lateral adjustments, making blade setting accurate and easy. Adjustable mouth.

The contoured body is 7? long by 1-3/4? wide, and has a 12° bed angle. Precision ground body ensures the sole is flat, the sides are square to the sole, and the bed is flat and square to the sides, all to within 0.0015? deviation. The A2 tool steel blade is 1-3/8? wide, 9/64? (0.140?) thick and hardened to Rc60-62. The blade has a primary bevel of 25°, and a 23° relief bevel to ease resharpening. The back of the blade is lapped flat within ±0.0002" in the working area of the blade.
