Veritas - Edge Trimming Plane (Left Hand) [Preowned]

Product Description

Pre-owned, a commission sale.
This is what we and Lee Valley Tools say about the edge trimming plane
"Edge-trimming planes are used for final trimming cuts on jointed boards to ensure smooth edges at exactly 90° to the face, and for working end grain. In many instances you will need only one model; the appropriate choice is often based on which of your hands is dominant.

However, neither model is exclusively for left or right handed users, as the planes are in fact complementary. Having both right and left hand models becomes advantageous when you need to accommodate grain running in opposite directions on the same board, but have only one true reference face, such as when working on a length of moulding.

Made in Canada, the planes are durable ductile iron, with a 12° bed angle and 30° blade skew. The 1/8" thick blades are 1-1/4" wide to let you plane material up to 1" wide, with PM-V11 Blades.

The depth-adjustment mechanism is a large thumb wheel and an independent traveller, resulting in fast and accurate depth setting with no blade skewing. Set screws along the side prevent the blade from shifting when knots are encountered.

The fence is drilled to allow blocks to be added or to affix a wooden wedge for cutting controlled bevels, such as in boat building. 1 lb 6 oz."

Usually available in our main Veritas section for £160 but currently out of stock (RH version is available)
