Comfortable to Hold and Use
The Veritas plane is comfortable to hold and use. It has the best fence and depth-stop adjustability of all the planes tested. After the blade has been aligned with the nicker once, setscrews in the body make it easy to return the blade into alignment after sharpening. Finally, the skewed blade cuts with minimal resistance and pulls the plane into the cut. Available in a right- or left-handed versions.
Fine Woodworking Recommended Products
Marking knife: Hock Double-Bevel Violin Knife, 3/4 in.
This heavy, double-beveled knife stays on track in all directions, and works just fine without adding a handle.
Veritas Micro-Adjust Wheel Marking Gauge
The adjuster runs through the beam from a small knob at the back end right to the cutting wheel, which moves in and out as you turn the knob. This arrangement works well but makes adjustments a two-handed operation, requiring a little more effort.
Tite-Mark Marking Gauge
These gauges can be easily and precisely adjusted with one hand, which allows you to set the tool while holding a ruler or workpiece in the other. The quality is exceptional, and all have sharp cutters that offer great visibility.
