This large spokeshave is ideally suited for shaping large, gently curved projects such as buckets, barrels, coopered doors, masts, and paddle blades. The thick blade, carefully machined lever cap and blade bed all combine to produce chatter-free cutting in virtually all conditions. The 3.2mm (0.125") thick blade (A2 tool steel) is seated at 45° to the sole. The ductile cast iron body is fitted with African rosewood handles, shaped for comfort and control, offering several ways to grip the tool comfortably with no corners or edges to cause discomfort when either pulling or pushing. The toe provides a convenient thumb rest that allows the user to choke up on the body to achieve an unusual degree of control for fine work. The twin adjustment thumb-wheels quickly and accurately control the depth of cut and skew. Overall length 470mm, blade width 65mm, weight 600g

All three Veritas Spokeshaves have been designed for smooth, effective, chatter free shaping of chair spindles, panel edges, paddles and tool handles. The 3.2mm(1/8") thick A2 steel blade, machined lever cap and blade bed achieve chatter free cutting in virtually all conditions. The ductile cast iron body is fitted with Bubinga 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 cut depth and skew and shims let you adjust the mouth opening as needed. The flat and round spokeshaves are general workhorses, suited to practically every kind of woodworking. The round spokeshave has a 44.5mm(1.3/4in) radius. The concave spokeshave is popular with chair and paddle makers, with a 45° 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.), 267mm(10.1/2") long overall. Veritas offer a kit which allows you to make custom handles for any of the three spokeshaves. The kit includes brass washers, hanger bolts, a mandrel for lathe mounting and assembly, plus detailed instructions.

This spokeshave returns to a traditional design of many years ago with the blade set at 20° and with a 25° micro bevel which produces a very clean cut. Cutting depth is adjusted by altering the position of the toe-piece rather than the blade, which is fixed to the body. The shape of the body allows it to be used in the conventional position for flat or convex work whilst turned over it can be used for concave work. The body is cast aluminium whilst the blade is a high quality tool steel which holds its edge over a long period of time. Another fine product from Veritas.
