Veritas® Apron Plane
In stock
Veritas’ smallest plane weights only 420 g but is impressively solid. Ideal for cabinetmakers, instrument makers and restorers. Central setscrew for iron depth and lateral adjustment. Non-adjustable mouth. Pitch of the iron 12°, Bevel angle 25°. Results in a cutting angle of 37°.
Blade width 31 mm, Blade thickness 2.5 mm, Length 140 mm, 420 g.
This small, low-angle block plane is ideal for trim carpentry. At 14 oz it is half the weight of a standard block plane, a big plus if you carry it in your apron all day.
The 5 1/2" × 1 3/4" ductile cast iron body takes knocks in stride. It has good hand feel; unique side wings allow a comfortable firm grip and provide stability for shooting. A combined feed and lateral adjustment mechanism makes setting easy and accurate. Patented.

Replacement Blade for Veritas Apron Plane
Lapped 25° bevel replacement blades for the apron plane, made of PM-V11 tool steel. The blade is 0.098" thick (nearly 25% thicker than standard 0.080" block plane blades), 1 1/4" wide.
PM-V11 steel is made from a new, powder metallurgy steel alloy. With its ultra-fine and homogeneous material structure and extreme hardness (HRC 58-60), this steel has double the edge-retention capacity of A2 steel, and the extremely hard-wearing blades allow a razor-sharp edge. The blades are highly durable even at a bevel angle of less than 20°. All blades come with a 2° microbevel and can be sharpened on conventional waterstones.
