Veritas Large Shoulder Plane
This specialized rabbet plane is the largest in the Veritas line of shoulder planes. Its size and mass make it perfect for trimming breadboard tenons, adjusting shoulders, or even paring down tenon cheeks. At 8-1/4" long and 1-1/4" wide, and weighing 3-3/4 lb, it brings both authority and precision to larger work.
Typical shoulder planes can be awkward to handle and control; Veritas has overcome this by shaping a new lever cap that fits properly in the palm, incorporating a hardwood lever cap knob that pivots 180°, and adding a multi-positional front knob that can be mounted on the top or on either side. You can also grip the plane in the recesses cast into the side. This combination of features ensures a solid, comfortable grip for all users in all applications. Blades are lapped, 1/8" (0.125") thick, and come in PM-V11 tool steel.
For those who want the performance of a superior shoulder plane, this tool is the solution.
Made in Canada.

PM-V11 Steel
All of the Veritas bench, block and shoulder planes that we stock have PM-V11 steel blades. Veritas conducted extensive testing and determined that PM-V11 offers the best balance of hardness, edge retention and ease of sharpening in tool steels. It hones to a very fine edge and can easily be sharpened with commonly available sharpening abrasives.
From Veritas
PM-V11 is a powdered metal (PM) alloy. To form a PM alloy, constituent metals are melted and mixed together, then atomized, creating very small particles that cool and harden, forming a powder. This powder is screened to ensure consistent particle size, and then heated under pressure to form a billet. The billet is then rolled to the required thickness, ready to process as a conventionally smelted steel would be. The PM process yields a steel with a very fine grain structure that is uniform throughout.
