Veritas Medium Router Plane

Slightly larger than the Veritas small router plane, this tool has the advantage of using the same blades as the full-size router plane. This means any of the blades available for this will fit. The plane can be used as a closed mouth router or the blade can also be used in an outboard configuration, with the blade extending past the body for bullnose applications. The blade-clamping knob uses a wave washer to hold the blade as it is loosened for easy, controlled depth adjustment. An included stainless steel depth-stop collar locks onto the blade shaft to limit cutting depth to a preset maximum. The plane can make cuts up to 1" deep with the depth stop installed or up to 1.3/4" deep without it. The ductile cast iron body has been accurately machined and ground flat. The plane is 3.1/2" wide by 3" deep and weighs about 13oz. A versatile plane, particularly on narrow material or in confined areas. Available with either a 1/4" or 1/2" blade.-bg
