Replacement PM-V11 Plane Blade - with 50°:
- 05P34-01 Veritas® Low-Angle Jack Plane
- 05P36-01 Veritas® Bevel-Up Smoother Plane
- 05P37-01 Veritas® Bevel-Up Jointer Plane
The 50° blade is for smoothing woods with widely varying or reversing grain (e.g., bird’s-eye maple) where tear-out is difficult to control. The resulting cutting angle of 62° produces what is known as a Type II chip (or shaving), one created by wood failure right at the cutting edge, eliminating tear-out on even the most difficult grains. Planing wood at this cutting angle is quite a workout – but the results are well worth it.
