Description

The Verum Low Angle Block Plane excels at one-handed end-grain planing and trimming with the grain for a flawless finish — a must-have for any woodworker’s toolkit. Its weight, balance, and short sole make it agile and versatile, equally at home on chamfers, flush-trimming joints, smoothing, or taming difficult timbers.

Designed with Peter Sefton

Each Verum plane is created in collaboration with Wood Workers Workshop’s owner, Peter Sefton — a master craftsman and woodworking educator. His hands-on experience has influenced every design choice, from the bedding angle and blade geometry to the ergonomics of the cap and body. The result is a block plane that feels like a natural extension of your hand, offering control and accuracy in every stroke.

Ergonomics & Comfort

Compact & Balanced
The short sole and 790g weight make the plane agile yet stable, sitting comfortably in the palm for extended one-handed use.

Polished Bronze Cap
The bronze cap, combined with side dimples for thumb and finger placement, provides a secure and tactile grip for confident control.

Blade Control & Adjustment

Low Angle Versatility
The 12° bedding angle and 25° sharpened blade combine for a 37° effective ultra-low cutting angle — perfect for end grain. Additional 25° blades available for sharpening at York (50°) and Cabinet (62°) pitches, for working difficult or figured timbers.

Fine Adjustable Mouth
Allows precise control of shaving thickness, from fine finishing cuts to heavier stock removal.

Excellent little plane

Excellent little plane. Very handy - perhaps more so than a standard block plane, given the ability to get right in to and edge / rebate. Very good quality and easy to use straight from the box after a quick hone of the blade.

Usual good quality Verum plane at a reasonable cost.

Well engineered and finished low angle rebate block plane . Fits nicely in the hand and is weighty and balanced perfectly to suit one-handed use with ease. As with other Verum planes and chisels I have, the steel takes and holds an edge well with a minimum of honing out-of-the-box. Comes fitted with a slightly larger, and therefore much easier to use, brass adjustment wheel as compared to other almost identical block planes - Highly recommended!

A handy plane to use.

The plane arrived promptly and very well packed( as are all packages from this firm).It fits into your hand very comfortably and is delightful to use. I have used it several times now and each time it has produced excellent results. A very good buy, great value and a good addition to my range of tools. I recommend this to everyone.
