Preston Spokeshave, Reproduction by Veritas®, Curved Sole, PM-V11 Blade

Description

PM-V11™ Steel
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. The extremely hard-wearing 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.

Founded in England in 1825, Edward Preston & Sons, Ltd. manufactured, among other products, this spokeshave model 1374 with curved sole. The reproduction made by Veritas features modern enhancements such as a PM-V11 blade. Smaller than a conventional spokeshave, the Preston model is ideal for fine shaping and smoothing work. A small mouth opening minimises tear-out, and the curved sole (radius 16 mm) allows you to cut narrow concave curves. Cast from stainless steel, hand-polished ornamentation.
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.
