The Veritas® pullshave was designed for hollowing or recessing an area. For example, it works well when shaping and smoothing chair seats. Veritas' unique design is the result of taking a convex spokeshave and reconfiguring it with a handle and knob to make it easier to use and better suited to rigourous work - there is no other tool like it on the market. It will do the work associated with traditional inshaves and travishers. the 1/8&qout; (3.2mm) thick lapped A2 tool steel blade as well as the carefully machined blade bed and cap iron combine to produce chatterfree cutting. The blade bed angle is 45° and the sole radius is 3-1/2" (89mm). The ductile cast iron body is fitted with a large rear handle and a front knob of bubinga; together they provide exceptional control and comfort. The twin adjustment thumb wheels allow you to set the cutting depth quickly and accurately.
