Veritas Small Spokeshave Kit. Traditional wooden spokeshaves are still popular tools, despite modern alternatives that offer better control over depth of cut.
Traditional wooden spokeshaves are still popular tools, despite modern alternatives that offer better control over depth of cut. Typical spokeshave blades have tangs that wedge into holes in the tool body, and cut depth is adjusted by tapping the tang ends or the base of the blade. Most users need a screwdriver or other tool, or must remove the blade, to make even a small adjustment.
With this kit and basic woodworking skills you can build a tool with a simple, effective depth adjustment that requires no blade removal or tools. The small spokeshave is for general tasks on a slightly smaller scale, allowing fine control on detail work such as small chamfers. A large kit is also available.
The kit includes:
A2 steel blade, 1-7/8" cutting edge, 3/32" thick, 2-3/4" x 1/2" overall
Brass wear strip
Two brass lock nuts and adjustment thumb wheels
Tap
