Tool Talk: Veritas Standard Angle Block Plane

Hey everyone! Here are my thoughts on the Veritas Standard Angle Block Plane with the optional PMV11 steel 50 degree blade. As always it seems like Veritas has outdone themselves when it comes to quality and features in this little plane!

    You have a ton of Planes! I thought this has happened before on one of your other cheaper planes? I guess quality control could save them a few dollars.

    Pitting in the casting is not a damaged plane

    Thinking of getting their low-angle jack and maybe the block plane too.

    I have absolutely no complain concerning the veritas block plane quality & it made me a pmv11 fan. Just for me it’s too big and heavy for one hand use “in the air” (without support & work on the piece directly) and I prefer the number 3 for two handed use. I think I’m gonna sell it to buy a smaller 101/102 or the veritas apron or pocket plane specifically for one hand uses

    I have been holding off spending money on the many Veritas goodies I want. I noticed they changed the three dots side details to one scalloped side grip. Looks like it’s on both the normal and low-angle. Kind of weird for me because the three dots had been around for a decade and is recognizable.

    I have yet to buy one… Someday…. Those set screws are nice…..
    That worked really well on the shooting board… It did alright on the end grain…….I need a baby plane… Like a number 1

    What is the lever cap made out of? Aluminium or steel?
