Veritas Small Plow Plane L/Hand

Description

Veritas Code 05P58.40

The Veritas® Left Hand Small Plow Plane has been redesigned, previously an awesome choice for grooves, rebates and tongues, it is now capable of doing decorative beading. The 168mm long fence registers against the workpiece for accurate planning, it has even been predrilled allowing an alternative fence to be fitted.

Large brass knobs allow the easy fitting of blades, with dual guide rods and a special collet locking system both assisting in preventing racking during use. The adjustable shoe, which is secured by a brass knob, controls the depth of the groove or rebate to a maximum of 12.7mm and has relieved edges to avoid marking your work.

The large ergonomic wooden handle has been well designed to make controlling the 800gram, 228mm long ductile cast-iron body easier. Its blade bed has been machined at 45°.

Designed to take Tongue Cutters, to make tongue and groove joints, Beading cutters to make decorative beads, or straight cutters in either Metric from 3mm to 18mm, or Imperial from 1/8" to 3/4".

Supplied with a 1/4" wide blade

Closest in size to the classic Record #044 plane, the preferred size of the old-style plow planes, it has a 6 5/8" long fence that registers solidly to the workpiece and is through-drilled to accommodate the addition of a wooden fence extension.

The asymmetric fence grip is sculpted to comfortably fit the natural curvatures of the hand. Double guide rods and a special collet locking system prevent the fence from racking. Large brass knobs make adjustments fast and easy without need for tools; the fence can be offset from flush to 1 1/2" from the 1/4" blade.

The adjustable shoe, secured directly by a brass knob, controls the depth of the groove or rabbet (maximum 1/2" deep) and has relieved edges to avoid marking your work.

The large wooden rear tote offers a solid, comfortable grip, and the 9" long ductile cast-iron body weighs 1 3/4 lb and is machined with a 45° blade bed. Supplied with a 1/4" wide lapped A2 tool steel blade. This left-hand version of the plow plane is designed for left-handers. A right-hand version of the plane is also available separately for right-handers.
