A low-angle smooth plane is used to smooth surfaces and, with its generous side wings, is ideal for shooting miters. Its low cutting angle of 37° minimizes fiber tearing, making it ideal for end-grain work. With a bed angle of 12°, this is a bevel-up plane.

With a bed angle of 12°, this is a bevel-up plane. It features an adjustable mouth with a unique stop screw, a combined feed and lateral adjustment knob for blade setting, and a hardwood front knob and rear handle.
The cast-iron body is 10" x 2-1/2" and weighs just over 3-1/2 lb. The 25° bevel blade is 2" x 1/8" thick, in your choice of A2, O1 or PM-V11 tool steel. For working difficult grain, lapped 38° and 50° blades and a toothed A2 blade are available separately.
If you have never owned a low-angle smooth, you will find it a delight to use and one of your favorite planes. Patented. Made in Canada.
Supplied with a lapped PM-V11 tool steel blade.

Veritas bevel-up planes hold the blade bevel up in a 12° bed. The cutting angle is therefore the bed angle plus the blade's bevel angle:
A 25° blade gives a 37° cutting angle – good for end grain and easy wood
A 38° blade gives a 50° cutting angle (York pitch) – a good start for difficult grain
A 50° blade gives a 62° cutting angle – for the most difficult wood
You change the cutting angle by swapping blades, or by honing a higher micro-bevel on the blade you have.
Which blade fits depends on the width of the plane. The blades come in A2, O1 and PM-V11 and with a 25°, 38° or 50° bevel:
1-5/8" – the Low-Angle Block Plane
1-3/4" – the Small Bevel-Up Smoother
2" – the Low-Angle Smooth Plane
2-1/4" – the Low-Angle Jack Plane, the 164 smoother and the Bevel-Up Jointer
Toothed A2 blades are also available for several of the planes, for difficult grain and for keying surfaces before veneering.
Veritas planes come with three types of steel. All give sharp edges, but they differ in how long the edge lasts and how easy the steel is to sharpen:
O1 – carbon steel that gets very sharp and is the easiest to hone
A2 – tool steel that holds an edge longer but takes a little longer to sharpen
PM-V11 – Veritas powder-metallurgy steel that holds an edge long and is still easy to sharpen
PM-V11 is the premium choice. O1 suits you if you sharpen often and want the keenest edge.
Most Veritas planes are supplied with a lapped blade, and the product name states which steel is included, for example A2, O1 or PM-V11.
Some versions are sold without a blade or as the body only, so you can choose the steel and bevel angle yourself. The name then says "without blade" or "body only". You will find matching blades among the Veritas replacement blades.
