The #6 fore plane is ideal for smoothing and flattening large surfaces such as panels, tabletops and workbench tops. The long sole ensures accurate results as it doesn’t follow the bumps and valleys that a shorter plane would. This is Veritas’ largest bench plane - its sole is 18" (457mm) long and its blade is 2-3/8" (60mm) wide. It weighs just under 3kg. Patented.
