Veritas Veritas P3501 High Carbon Blade Scrub Plane

This is the tool you use to get stock into a condition where you then can use a smooth plane. The 3" radius of the 1 12" wide by 316" thick blade gives a distinctive, hand worked texture to the workpiece.It is sometimes used by timber framers to replicate gouge marks.This is a single iron tool, meaning there is no cap iron or chip breaker. Set screws along the side prevent the blade from shifting sideways when knots are encountered. Available with either a high carbon steel blade Rc58 60 or an A2 tool steel blade Rc60 62.The Veritas scrub plane measures 11 14"" long overall and weighs 3 lb. The ductile cast iron body is accurately machined and ground so that the sole is flat. A very refined yet rugged performer.
