Veritas Bevel-up Jointer Plane

Veritas Bevel-up Jointer Plane

The Low Angle jointer is the largest member of the Veritas bevel-up bench plane family. At 22" x 2-7/8" and weighing 7 lb 8 oz, it is ideal for jointing edges and flattening large panels.

The body is fully stress-relieved ductile cast iron, with a sole that is flat and square to the sides. An adjustable throat plate allows a wide range of mouth adjustment. The unique stop-screw retains mouth settings while preventing blade damage when removing and replacing blades.

The bevel-up blade configuration results in a plane that is versatile and straightforward to use. The 12° bed angle, coupled with the 25° blade bevel, creates an effective cutting angle of 37°. Simply increasing the blade bevel results in higher cutting angles for improved performance in more difficult-grained woods.

Includes a lapped 3/16" (0.187") thick blade, 2-1/4" wide, in PM-V11 tool steel.

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.
