VERITAS Small Block Plane "Apron Plane"
This small, low-angle block plane is the answer to a trim carpenter's prayers. At only 450 g (14 oz) it is half the weight of a standard block plane, a significant factor if you want to carry it in your apron all day.
The 140 mm (5-1/2 in.) long, tough ductile cast iron body will take job-site accidents in stride. This is not a plane body that will break when dropped. It has good hand feel; the unique side wings let you grip it comfortably and firmly as well as provide excellent stability for shooting.
The high-carbon blade is 2.5 mm (0.098 in.) thick, 32 mm (1-1/4 in.) wide and hardened to Rc60-62. This blade is nearly 25% thicker than the blades standard in most block planes like the no. 102.
Like the other block planes, the apron plane has a combined feed and lateral adjustment mechanism that makes setting easy and accurate. 12° bed angle.
