Veritas low-angle riflard, pvm11 blade

The steep blade angle (12°), along with the upward bevel and adjustable cutting mouth, prevents tear-out or splintering of the wood when planing end grain.

The Veritas low angle plane is not just a "multipurpose" plane in the vague sense of the term: it is a central workshop tool, designed to replace several traditional planes while offering superior control and cutting quality.

Its principle is based on a blade with an upward bevel, mounted in a rigid and perfectly machined body. This configuration allows the cutting angle to be varied simply by sharpening, without changing planes:

Standard sharpening → fast and efficient roughing work,

A smaller, more closed micro-bevel → clean cut on wavy or cross-grained wood,

fine sharpening → finish close to that of a smoothing plane.

The PM-V11 blade plays a crucial role here. This exclusive Veritas steel combines exceptional edge retention, chip resistance, and ease of sharpening, making it ideal for a plane that sees constant use. Where conventional steel quickly loses its edge, PM-V11 allows you to work longer with consistent quality.

The wide, stable base, combined with precise depth and light adjustment, ensures controlled, vibration-free cutting. Whether you're edging, trimming a piece to the correct thickness, repairing a panel, or finishing a delicate surface, this scraper adapts without compromise.
