Veritas Spokeshave Concave Base

Veritas Spokeshave Concave Base has been designed for smooth, effective, chatter-free shaping of chair spindles, panel edges, paddles and tool handles.

The 3.2mm (1/8") thick PMV-11 steel blade, machined lever cap and blade bed achieve chatter-free cutting in virtually all conditions. The ductile cast iron body is fitted with hardwood handles, shaped for comfort and control. The toe serves as a thumb rest allowing the user to choke up on the body to attain exceptional control for fine work. Twin adjustment wheels quickly and accurately control the cut depth and skew and shims let you adjust the mouth opening as needed.

The concave spokeshave is popular with chair and paddle makers, with a 45-degree bed angle and a sole radius of 33.3mm (1 5/16"), it is the first choice for a wide range of jobs from small spindles to large oars.

Each spokeshave weighs about 450g (12 oz) and is 267mm (10.5") long overall.
