Veritas Low-Angle Smooth Plane, A2

A low-angle smooth plane has three key uses: smoothing surfaces, preferably taking a diagonal cut partly across and partly along the grain; shooting miters, thanks to its generous side wings; and end-grain work.

The low 37° cutting angle minimizes tear-out. With a 12° bed angle it is a bevel-up plane, like a low-angle block plane. It has an adjustable mouth with a unique stop screw, a combined depth and lateral adjustment, and a generous bubinga knob and handle.

For difficult grain, additional blades are available: 38° and 50° bevel blades in A2 or O1, and a toothed A2 blade. The toothed blade is ideal for knots; its small square teeth leave a texture that can be smoothed with a finely set plane or a scraper.
