Veritas Large Spokeshave, A2 Blade
A spokeshave for large, slightly curved surfaces, which affords ample space to comfortably grip the tool. The wider blade removes wider wood shavings. A solid body made of ductile cast iron and a thick steel blade allow for finest shavings, even if the grain is irregular. The spokeshave can easily be adjusted by turning the integrated knurled screws. The extra-long handles of African rosewood are formed ergonomically and are a pleasure to work with.
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 precious wood handles, these planes are also pleasing to the eye.
