Veritas Edge Trimming Plane Review By: I.Ball
Category: Specialist Planes
Manufacturer: Veritas
Plane Type: Edge Trimming
Model No: N/A
This Veritas Edge Trimming Plane review covers the plane made by Veritas
Tools of Canada.
The Veritas Edge Trimming Plane which is also referred to as the Veritas
Iron Edge Trimming Plane is a specialist hand plane suited for final
trimming of jointed boards, it ensures smooth edges exactly 90 degrees
to the face and can also be used to create bevels.
he Veritas Edge Trimming Plane I think it is fair to say appears to
be heavily influenced by the
old Stanley 95 Edge Trimming Plane.
The 6 1/8" long plane is made from ductile cast iron, fitted with a
32mm (1 1/4") wide skewed blade (30 degrees skew) which can plane a
full 25mm (1") wide board.
The blade is set on a low-angle 12 degrees bed. The combination of the
low-angle and the skewed cutter makes the plane well suited to end-grain
work.
The Veritas Edge Trimming Plane blade is available as an A2 blade, O1
blade and a PMV-11 blade. In the UK at the time of writing this review,
these planes are usually supplied with the A2 blade as standard.
The plane is equipped with a blade fine depth adjustment mechanism;
the brass controlling knob is located just above the blade.
The plane fence has been given to screw holes to allow the user the
option of adding their own wooden wedge for making controlled bevels.
The Veritas Edge Trimming Plane is available in lefthand and righthand versions,
the most common version is the righthand version.
Having both lefthand and righthand planes gives the advantage of being able to work
any grain direction.
Supplied in a Veritas cardboard box.

- The blade(s)/cutter(s) is very sharp, take suitable precautions when using/handling/storing
the plane/cutter(s) to prevent injury.
- Failure to loosen parts when making adjustments to the plane can result in damage
to the plane such as cross-threading screw threads. Never force a part to move.

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
