Veritas® Jack Plane No. 5 (Custom), PM-V11

Description

Next generation bench plane series

PM-V11™ Steel br>PM-V11 steel is made from a new, powder metallurgy steel alloy. With its ultra-fine and homogeneous material structure and extreme hardness (HRC 61-63), this steel has double the edge-retention capacity of A2 steel. PM-V11 blades allow a razor-sharp edge and are highly durable even at a bevel angle of less than 20°. All blades come with a 2° microbevel and can be sharpened on conventional waterstones.

The increased length and weight compared to the No. 4 plane makes this one ideal, not only for smoothing, but also for levelling surfaces.

Technical features:
  • Blade: PM-V11 / 50.8 mm
  • Frog: 45° / 50.8 mm
  • Wide knob
  • Traditional handle shape / medium size
Veritas® Interchangeable Frog (Custom) Bench Planes
  • Central stainless steel adjusting screw (Norris type)
  • Lateral setscrews centre the plane blade in the plane mouth
  • Width of mouth opening can be adjusted by loosening the front knob (or on the jointer plane a separate stainless steel button)
  • Blade carrier lets you repeat the mouth width setting after changing the blade
  • Mechanism for quick removal/attachment of the chipbreaker means no need to adjust the distance of chipbreaker from cutting edge of the blade (e.g. after sharpening)
  • Exchangeable frog (also available in 40°/55°) enables adjustment of cutting angle for highly grained wood
  • Two threaded holes on both sides of the plane body for attaching an optionally available side fence
Veritas® Planes
The corporate philosophy of Canadian tool manufacturer Veritas aims to develop new adjustment mechanisms and enhance historic plane design. With bodies made of stress-relieved spheroidal cast iron, these tools are highly resistant to cracking and distortion. Their soles are perfectly plane and trued at right angles to the sides. Their thick blades of high-strength A2 steel are hardened to 60-62 HRC and additionally subjected to a special low-temperature process to achieve a finer grain. Veritas planes are optionally available with PM-V11 blades. (The Custom series models are equipped with PM-V11 blades as standard). Two setscrews on the sides constrain the blade laterally, keeping it in place regardless of the type of stress applied. Unless otherwise stated, the blade is angled at 45°. With their material combination of finely-ground or black-coated cast iron bodies, polished brass setscrews and beautiful torrefied maple handles, these planes are also pleasing to the eye.
