Veritas P3502 A2 Steel 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 1-1/2" wide by 3/16" 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 11-1/4" 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.
