Veritas® Low Angle Jack Plane No. 62, 2nd Generation, A2 Blade

Description

The new generation of planes combines proven features with additional innovations: two threaded side holes allow the attachment of a fence, while the modified weight provides improved control. Based on the legendary Stanley No. 62, originally developed for butcher’s blocks, it also excels on difficult grain, end grain, and knotty wood. The blade sits in a machined bed at a 12° bed angle with the bevel up; with a 25° bevel angle this results in a 37° cutting angle. The mouth opening is fully adjustable.

Due to its length, design, and accessories, the No. 62 is the most universal plane type of all, and was already highly popular during Stanley times. Apart from smoothing, its long design also makes it ideal for trueing surfaces. The blade, whose cutting angle can be easily adjusted by regrinding the bevel, handles even end grain, knotty wood and difficult grain without problems. The front handle allows easy and convenient adjustment of the mouth piece. Thanks to the central adjusting screw, the blade feed and lateral position can be adjusted quickly and precisely. For fine cuts and working with end grain. Blade angle 12°. A 25° bevel angle produces a cutting angle of 37°. Note: The plane is delivered in two parts (body and blade).
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 flat 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.
