Veritas Scrub Plane + PM-V11 Blade

Product Description

The scrub plane is the tool of choice for major stock removal, the first step when flattening rough stock by hand. Much like a low-angle smooth plane, a scrub is not usually used parallel to the grain, but at an angle of 30° or more. The blade edge is ground with a 3″ radius, so that it takes an aggressive cut. This is the tool you use to get stock into a condition where you then can use a smooth plane. The 3″ radius of the 1-1/2″ wide by 3/16″ thick blade gives a distinctive, hand-worked texture to the workpiece. It is sometimes used by timber framers to replicate gouge marks.

This is a single-iron tool, meaning there is no cap iron or chip breaker. Set screws along the side prevent the blade from shifting sideways when knots are encountered. Come with a PM-V11 blade.

The Veritas® scrub plane measures 11-1/4″ long overall and weighs 3 lb. The ductile cast iron body is accurately machined and ground so that the sole is flat. A very refined yet rugged performer.
