Q: What makes this plane good for end-grain work?

Its low 37° cutting angle, from a 12° bed and 25° blade bevel, minimizes fiber tearing, which makes it well suited to end-grain work.

Q: Can this plane be used for shooting miters?

Yes, its generous side wings make it well suited to shooting miters in addition to general surface smoothing.

Yes, lapped 38° and 50° bevel blades are available separately, giving you a higher effective cutting angle for difficult grain.

The cast-iron body measures 10" × 2 1/2" and weighs just over 3 1/2 lb.
