Veritas’® scraping plane is the ideal tool for final smoothing - especially when you have to deal with highly figured wood or reversing grain. With a well-sharpened blade and light cuts you can achieve excellent results with any wood.

Tear-out is virtually eliminated with the cutting action of the scraping blade. The large wooden front knob and rear handle make this plane comfortable to use for extended periods, and the large sole ensures an accurately flattened surface. The adjustable frog enables you to set blade angles from 0 to 25°, providing fine control of the cutting action.

A feature unique to this plane is an integral thumbscrew that bows the blade, eliminating ridges in the work surface caused by blade corners. The plane comes with a 0.055" high carbon steel blade suited to this technique as well as an optional 1/8" (3.2mm) thick A2 steel blade that suits those who prefer to use an uncambered blade.

Both blade styles are 2-7/8" (73mm) wide and are hardened to Rc48-51. Cutting edges are ground at 45°. The 10" ductile cast iron body has been fully stress relieved, machined and surface ground on the sole. Weighs approximately 1.8 kg. Detailed instructions included.
