Veritas Plane Body for Jointer Plane No. 7 with O1 Steel 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 allows quick mouth adjustments - loosening the front knob lets you close the mouth to a narrow slit for fine shavings and minimum tear-out, or open it for heavier cuts. A stop-screw in the throat retains mouth settings and prevents accidental contact with the blade. 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.
