For general purpose work Effective cutting angle of 45° Fitted with a lapped A2 blade
Veritas Standard Block Plane
The standard block plane is preferred for general purpose work. The 20° bed angle plus the blade's 25° bevel angle results in an effective cutting angle of 45°. The low profile lever cap fits the hand well, at only 3.2mm(1/8") higher than its low-angle sibling (weight 790g(1.3/4lb)). In all other respects, it is the same as the low-angle block plane. Includes a lapped A2 blade, 41mm(1.5/8") wide. Optional O1 tool steel blade is available. A toothed blade in A2 steel is available for working very difficult grains, such as knots.
Very fine
"This is a heavy block plane, My first good plane and I am more than happy with.I don't know lie nielsen planes ,but this beauty is much much better than stanley and others.
Very heavy , very nice.
This cast iron can rust with easy and is softer than classic grey cast iron.
Consider to buy the wooden front knob it help in some position .
Good luck."
