Q: What does this plane do that makes it unique?

It combines the width and weight of a dedicated smoother with the versatile, low-angle bevel-up mechanics typically found in block-style planes.

Q: What is York pitch, and why does it matter?

The 12° bed combined with the 38° blade bevel yields a 50° cutting angle, known as York pitch, a good starting point for minimizing tear-out on difficult wood.

Q: Can I get an even higher cutting angle for very difficult grain?

Yes, you can hone a higher micro-bevel on the blade for a steeper cutting angle. Alternatively, a 50° Veritas bevel-up bench plane blade is available separately.

Q: How big is this plane?

It weighs 4 lb 14 oz, with a 10" × 3 1/8" sole.
