Edge-trimming planes are used for final trimming cuts on jointed boards to ensure smooth edges exactly 90° to the face. The bronze edge-trimming plane is a beautiful plane but costly to make due to the material and amount of polishing required. Veritas have redesigned a workhorse sibling cast in ductile iron that is affordable for everyday use. The iron plane mimics the bronze version in form and performance, with a few functional improvements. The depth-adjustment mechanism on this model is a large thumb wheel and an independent traveller, resulting in fast and accurate depth setting with no blade skewing. Set screws along the side prevent the blade from shifting when it hits a knot. All other aspects are the same as the bronze plane - a full 1" cut can be made, and the plane is drilled and tapped to allow a wooden wedge to be fixed to the fence for cutting controlled bevels. The fence is 6-1/8" long, the plane is 6-1/8" long overall and it weighs 1 lb 6 oz. The 12° bed angle and 30° blade skew are suitable to work end grain as well as edges of boards. Weighs 1 lb 6 oz.
