Details
The Veritas #4-1/2 smoothing plane represents the evolution of a traditional tool, addressing shortcomings such as blade chatter and throat adjustment, while making use of modern materials for the castings and blade.

It incorporates a completely new concept in bench planes, a frog that extends all the way to the sole of the plane. This effective design reduces blade chatter by providing complete blade support and allows a user to quickly adjust the mouth as required.

It can be closed to a narrow slit for fine shavings, or opened for heavier cuts. All of this is done without having to remove the lever cap or anything else from the plane; simply loosen a pair of screws and dial the desired opening with a thumb wheel. The carefully machined fit between frog and sole makes the process fast and accurate.

The 47.6mm (2-7/8") x 250mm (9-3/4") ductile cast iron body is fully stress relieved, machined, and surface ground on both the wings and sole for accuracy. The extra-large side wings make for very stable shooting ability.

The lapped PM-V11 blade is a full 3.2mm (1/8") thick and 35mm (2-3/8") wide. This thick blade, combined with the full-depth frog, virtually eliminates chatter under all conditions. Both the hardwood front knob and tote are generous in size for control and a comfortable grip. The combined feed and lateral adjust lever make blade setting easy and accurate. At approx. 2.27kg (5 lb), this has the mass needed for an effective smoother.
