The Verum Low Angle Rebate Block Plane is designed for trimming tight into corners, shoulders, and rebates — perfect for flattening tenon cheeks, skimming housings, and refining halving joints. Compact and balanced like a block plane, but with the precision and full-width blade of a shoulder plane, it offers the best of both worlds for makers who demand accuracy.

Sawing or chiselling joints perfectly flat is challenging, but with the ultra-low 37° effective pitch of this rebate block plane, trimming and fine-tuning become effortless. Whether working with or across the grain, the sharp T10 blade produces clean, controlled shavings without tear-out. Its size and feel make it a favourite for both detail work and more demanding joint adjustments.

Designed with Peter Sefton

Each Verum plane is the result of collaboration between our manufacturer and Wood Workers Workshop’s owner, Peter Sefton — a master craftsman and woodworking educator. His hands-on expertise shaped every detail, from blade geometry to ergonomics, creating a rebate block plane that serious woodworkers can trust.
