Veritas Plane Body for Jack No. 5½, with O1 Blade

All the plane bodies are fully stress-relieved ductile cast iron. The soles are machined flat and square to the sides, and they have extra-large side wings for stable shooting. The planes all have a stainless-steel Norris-type combined feed and lateral adjustment mechanism for easy and accurate blade setting.
Two set screws register the blade in the throat. The movable toe plate, which is completely integrated into the sole of the plane, allows quick mouth adjustments - by loosening the front knob (on the jointer plane, a seperate stainless steel knob). By reducing the opening of the mouth to a narrow slit you get fine shavings, or open it for heavier cuts. The cap iron registers on a low-profile blade carrier attached to the blade, which allows fast removal of the cap iron for blade sharpening. It also lets you restore the cap iron without losing its position relative to the cutting edge.
