Veritas A2 Toothed Blade, 2", Coarse. These toothed blades allow fast material removal with minimal tear-out, even when working with difficult grain, particularly knots.
These toothed blades allow fast material removal with minimal tear-out, even when working with difficult grain, particularly knots. They are also useful for leaving witness marks to indicate what parts of the work you still need to finish, or for texturing a surface for veneer.
Coarse (13 tpi), medium (17 tpi) and fine (25 tpi) blades are available. The coarse-toothed blade is a good choice for fast material removal, while the fine-toothed blade provides the best performance in densely figured wood or for leaving a finely grooved surface for veneering. The medium-toothed blade is a good general workhorse, offering a compromise between speed and tear-out prevention.
Designed for Veritas bevel-up planes, the blades come in three widths. The 1 3/4" blade is for the Veritas small bevel-up smooth plane and the 2" blade is for the low-angle smooth plane. The 2 1/4" blade fits the Veritas bevel-up jointer, smoother and low-angle jack planes.
This blade: A2, 2" wide, coarse (13 tpi).
There are several good ways to sharpen chisels and plane irons: water stones, diamond stones, oil stones and sharpening machines such as Tormek. All give sharp edges, but they differ in speed, maintenance and price.
A honing guide makes it easier to keep the same angle every time. The most important thing is to find a method you enjoy and use often. The guide helps you choose.
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.
A new replacement iron can make an old plane better than it was when new. To find the right one, measure the iron's width, thickness and slot dimensions, and check whether the plane has a cap iron and what kind of adjuster it has.
A thicker iron chatters less but may require the mouth to be adjusted. The guide shows how to measure and choose correctly. You can also send us a photo of the iron with a rule beside it, and we will help you. We do not sell adjusting screws or other spare parts for old Stanley planes.
