This PM-V11 Blade to suit the Veritas® Low-Angle Block Plane sits on a 12° bed, giving its shallow angle. The blade is a 35mm wide x 3.2mm thick blade, with a 25° primary bevel, with the back of the blade lapped to flat within +/-0.00508mm in the working area.
Veritas has developed all of its tools with unique twists and features setting them aside from everything else. The PM-V11 blades are no exception to this. Functionality and value for money have always been the driving force behind all of the innovative designs the team at Veritas has come up with.
Veritas has come up with a steel that can be used as chisel and plane blades, and they called it PM-V11. It has good edge retention, impact resistance, and ease and speed of sharpening making it their ultimate blade of choice for chisels and hand planes.
All plane blades come lapped, so are ready for use, though a final honing is recommended.
