Description
A small joinery plane, perfect for cutting grooves up to 3/8" wide × 3/8" deep, such as used for drawer and box bottoms, as well as for cutting small rabbets and decorative beads
Just shy of 5 1/2″ long, the ductile cast iron body is accurately machined with a 45° blade bed
Body has been sculpted to fit the hand for comfort and the plane can be used with one hand, if necessary
5″ long fence registers solidly to the workpiece and is through-drilled to accommodate the addition of a wooden fence extension
Double guide rods prevent the fence from racking
Depth stop controls the depth of the groove or rabbet (maximum 3/8" deep); it is secured directly by a brass knob, and has relieved edges to avoid marking your work
Supplied with 1/4" wide, 35° lapped A2 tool steel blade, but the plane can be used with any Veritas plow plane blade up to 3/8" (10 mm) wide
The 1/8" hex key (included) makes it easy to loosen the fence lock screws to offset the fence from flush to 2 1/2" (when using the 1/4" included blade)
