Veritas No. 4 Smoothing Plane Ref: VP2601

The No.4 smoothing plane is the most commonly used bench plane because of its versatility. It is the perfect size for general smoothing, finish work, trimming parts and other odd jobs at the bench. It has the mass required to cut smoothly but is also light enough to avoid fatigue in use. The sole is 9-1/2" long and the blade is 2" wide. Weight is 4 lb 6 oz.
Like all the Veritas® bench planes it incorporates a unique frog that extends all the way to the sole of the plane to eliminate blade chatter and to allow the user to quickly adjust the mouth as required. It can be closed to a narrow slit for fine shavings with minimum tear-out, 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 thumbwheel.

The body and frog are ductile cast iron and are fully stress relieved. The wings and sole are accurately machined and surface ground. The extra-large sides make for very stable shooting.

The blade is a full 1/8" thick and made of A2 tool steel. Both the hardwood front knob and tote are generous in size for a comfortable grip with good control. The combined feed and lateral adjust lever make blade setting easy and accurate.

Patented.
