Veritas PM-V11 Replacement Plane Blade - with 50°

Replacement PM-V11 Plane Blade - with 50°:

• 05P34-01 Veritas® Low-Angle Jack Plane
• 05P36-01 Veritas® Bevel-Up Smoother Plane
• 05P37-01 Veritas® Bevel-Up Jointer Plane

The 50° blade is for smoothing woods with widely varying or reversing grain (e.g., bird’s-eye maple) where tear-out is difficult to control. The resulting cutting angle of 62° produces what is known as a Type II chip (or shaving), one created by wood failure right at the cutting edge, eliminating tear-out on even the most difficult grains. Planing wood at this cutting angle is quite a workout – but the results are well worth it.
