Veritas Large & Medium Router Planes in fitted case, with blade wallet [Pre-owned]

Product Description

In Good ++ (G++) to Fine (F) condition. Little used pre-owned router planes.

The large router comes with the fence and blade sharpening jig.

Both planes share 6 interchangeable blades, 5mm, 6mm straight, 1/8”, ¼” & ½” straight, spear point ( ½”).

Veritas blade roll included. The bespoke box houses the planes with space for the wallet and other spares (maybe buy the small router to complete the rout!).

“The Veritas router plane is the Stanley #71 reborn with radical improvements. An invaluable tool for work on stopped or through dadoes and grooves, or for any work that requires an area cut to a precise depth. The blade depth is regulated by a fine screw feed that travels 1/32" per turn for precise adjustment, with the resulting depth of cut controlled by a positive locking depth stop. Unique to the Veritas router plane is a spring-loaded blade-clamping collar that holds the blade in position when the collar is loosened. It provides tactile feedback, allowing controlled blade adjustment to a depth of 1". The ductile cast iron body has been accurately machined and ground flat. Weight is 2lb. The large wooden knobs are positioned to provide both comfort and excellent control. The fence (made of stainless steel and aluminium) can be positioned on either side of the plane and will work on both straight and curved pieces.”

The medium router is slightly larger than the Veritas small router plane, this tool has the advantage of using the same blades as the full-size router plane.

For general use, the blade may be positioned inboard with the sole encircling it for maximum registration on the workpiece, even when approaching from the side or working an edge. This allows it to bridge recesses, providing great stability even on narrow stock. The blade can also be used in an outboard configuration, with the blade extending past the body, for bullnose applications. The blade-clamping knob uses a wave washer to hold the blade as it is loosened, for easy, controlled depth adjustment.

An included stainless-steel depth-stop collar locks onto the blade shaft to limit cutting depth to a preset maximum. The plane can make cuts up to 1" deep with the depth stop installed or up to 1¾" deep without it. The ductile cast iron body has been accurately machined and ground flat. The plane is 3½" wide by 3" deep and weighs about 13 oz. A versatile plane, particularly on narrow material or in confined areas.”

So, 2 planes, a fitted box. 6 interchangeable blades, a useful router plane roll, the fence and blade sharpening jig. Quite a nice bundle! All in cracking condition G++ to Fine.
