The Veritas low-angle smoothing plane has three key uses:

• It is used to smooth surfaces; preferably taking a diagonal cut, partly across and partly along the grain.
• With its generous side wings, it is ideal for shooting mitres.
• It is excellent for end-grain work.

The low cutting angle of 37 degree minimizes fibre tearing. With a bed angle of 12 degrees, this is a bevel-up plane, like a low-angle block.

It features an adjustable mouth with a unique stop-screw, a combined feed and lateral adjustment knob for blade setting, and a generous  hardwood front knob and rear handle.

Supplied with a thick, rigid blade which has been lapped and made from O1 tool steel.
