Veritas No. 5 1/4W, a mid-sized bench plane with a wide blade and a long sole ahead of the mouth. Serves as a jointer for most cabinetmaking.
The classic No. 5 1/4, sometimes called a junior jack, sits in length between the No. 4 smooth plane and the No. 5 jack plane. The Veritas No. 5 1/4W differs from the original mainly in its wider blade and a mouth set 111 mm (4 3/8") behind the nose instead of 89 mm (3 1/2"). The longer sole ahead of the blade makes it easier to keep the plane flat on the work at the start of a stroke. Together with the fine depth adjustment, this lets the plane serve as a jointer for most cabinetmaking.
Like all Veritas bench planes, it has a frog that extends to the sole. The blade is supported along its full length, which reduces chatter. The mouth is set without removing the lever cap: loosen two screws and turn the thumb wheel. It can be closed to a narrow slit for fine shavings and little tear-out, or opened for heavier cuts.
The body is stress-relieved ductile cast iron. The sole is surface ground, flat and square to the sides, and the large side wings give steady support on a shooting board. The front knob and rear tote are hardwood. A single mechanism handles both depth and lateral adjustment of the blade.
The plane takes a lapped blade, 51 mm (2") wide and 3.2 mm (1/8") thick, in A2, O1 or PM-V11.
Sole 305 × 64 mm (12" × 2 1/2"), mouth 111 mm (4 3/8") from the nose, blade width 51 mm (2"), blade thickness 3.2 mm (1/8"). Made in Canada.
Supplied without blade. Choose a blade separately.

Which plane to start with depends on what you will do, but for most people a smoothing plane (No. 4) or a jack plane (No. 5) is a good first choice. The smoothing plane gives smooth surfaces, and the jack plane is a versatile plane for both rough work and truing edges.
Low-angle jack planes such as the Lie-Nielsen No. 62 and the Veritas low-angle jack are also popular all-round planes. A block plane is a good addition for end grain and chamfers. The guide explains how the hand plane is built and which types exist.
Planes of cast iron and steel rust easily, especially in unheated workshops and from moisture on your hands. Wipe the plane after use and protect bare surfaces with a thin layer of wax or oil that will not mark the wood.
Store your planes dry, ideally in a plane sock or box. If rust has already formed, the guide shows how to clean and protect them.
