Distinctive single-use airplane
Whereas technically a smaller model of the Veritas Capturing Airplane, there’s nothing petite in regards to the Veritas Miter Airplane. Roughly the dimensions of a no. 4 airplane and coming in at virtually 5 lbs., essentially the most distinctive characteristic of this beefy bevel-up airplane is its side-mounted horn.
The horn lets you grip the airplane whereas resting on its aspect when capturing the ends of components to size. You could possibly argue {that a} single-use airplane is a luxurious, however I’ve owned a capturing airplane for years and discover it an indispensable device for sizing components to precise size. Whereas a regular bench airplane can deal with the job, the low-angle blade of the miter airplane excels at slicing by way of finish grain.
The match and end of the airplane is great, and it took minutes to hone a eager edge on the iron.
