Veritas 5 ¼ Jack Plane [Pre-owned, SOLD]

Product Description

Veritas No. 5 1/4 - junior jack plane.

At 305mm long, this plane sites between the No. 4 smoother and the No.5 Jack plane. 50mm wide blade which sits 115mm back from the nose of the sole.

This extra length of sole in front of the blade makes it much easier to cut accurately because the extra-long nose makes it easier to maintain the sole flush to the material at the start of a cut. The combination of the mouth location and the very sensitive feed adjustment lets this plane serve as a jointer for most cabinet work.

The No. 5 1/4 is an ideal complement to the No. 4 1/2 for bench work. It is made from ductile cast iron and has the same adjustable frog with a combined feed and lateral adjust mechanism that is sturdy, yet sensitive and accurate. The easily adjusted frog is machined to fit snugly in the plane body and combined with the 3.2mm thick blade, eliminates virtually all blade chatter.

As the frog extends right through to the sole, adjusting the frog to narrow the mouth does not reduce blade support as it does in standard planes of this style.

• Weighs just under 2.26kg.
• A2 steel blade with a primary bevel of 25°.

This plane is its its original cardboard box and is in excellent condition.

A commission sale.
