This round spokeshave will quickly become a favorite as it is so easy to use. Designed for smooth, effective shaping of chair spindles, panel edges, paddles and tool handles, or other shaping, it has a 1/8” thick blade, machined lever cap and blade bed that 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 you 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.
With a 1-3/4” radius, the spokeshave has a 2-1/8”-wide PM-V11 alloy blade, is 10-1/2” long overall, and weighs about 12 oz. Made in Canada.
Veritas Round Bottom Spokeshave with PM-V11 Blade Details:
- Curved sole engages the workpiece on convex and hollow profiles
- Thick blade, machined lever cap and matching blade bed work together to minimize chatter even in difficult grain conditions
- 2-1/8”-wide blade is PM-V11 alloy steel, which holds an edge longer between sharpenings than A2 or O1
- Two independent wheels control cut depth and blade skew independently, allowing fine tuning of the cut without disturbing the other setting
- Shims let you open or close the mouth to suit the cut—a tighter mouth for fine finishing, a wider opening for more aggressive stock removal
- Extended toe serves as a thumb rest, letting you choke up on the body for close, controlled cuts on small or intricate workpieces
- Body resists flex under load; shaped hardwood handles are comfortable for extended shaping sessions
