This small, low-angle block plane from Veritas is the answer to a trim carpenter’s prayers…
At only 14oz (400g), it is half the weight of a standard block plane – a significant factor if you want t o carry it with you all day. The 5½in (14cm)-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 and unique side walls let you hold it comfortably and firmly, as well as providing excellent stability for shooting. Like other Veritas block planes, the apron plane has a combined feed and lateral adjustment mechanism that makes setting easy and accurate. The bed angle is 12°.
