It is one of the largest Veritas bench planes, ideal for smoothing and flattening large surfaces such as panels, table tops and workbench tops.
At 18" long, the sole won't follow the bumps and valleys that a shorter plane would, helping you flatten large work accurately.
Yes, loosen two screws and turn the thumb wheel to set the mouth from a narrow slit for fine shavings to a wider opening for heavier cuts, without removing the lever cap.
It comes with your choice of A2, O1 or PM-V11 tool steel. The 2 3/8" wide lapped blades are a full 1/8" thick, and each steel type offers a different balance of edge retention and ease of sharpening.
