Veritas Small Bevel-Up Smooth Plane, PM-V11 Blade. With a size comparable to a #3 bench plane, this low-angle smoother is 9" long, 2 5/16" wide and weighs only 2 lb 12 oz. Smaller and lighter than a full-size smoother, it is easier to maneuver and is less fatiguing to use for extended periods.
With a size comparable to a #3 bench plane, this low-angle smoother is 9" long, 2 5/16" wide and weighs only 2 lb 12 oz. Smaller and lighter than a full-size smoother, it is easier to maneuver and is less fatiguing to use for extended periods. Further, since the blade is narrower, at 1 3/4" wide, cuts are easier to push through.
Like the full-size versions, it is useful for final finishing of surfaces, end-grain work and for shooting miters. The machined and surface ground ductile cast iron body has a 12° bed angle and a movable toe fully enclosed by the body casting.
The locking front knob controls the toe to set the mouth opening, while an unobtrusive stop-screw in the throat allows repeatable mouth setting and prevents contact between the blade and toe. The Norris-type adjuster mechanism combines feed and lateral adjustments, making blade setting accurate and easy. Set screws on either side of the blade prevent shifting in use. The front knob and rear handle are hardwood.
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.
