Veritas is just about ready to release two new skew rabbet planes, which cut rabbets both with and across the grain. These full-featured planes are fundamental tools in the shop of a hand-tool woodworker. We take a look at this new plane, which was unveiled at IWF, and take it for a test drive.

    It looks like the "Wives Against Schwarz" club may get some competition from the "Wives Against Lee" members. Thanks very much for the informative video post.

    Very nice. I’ve been waiting for someone to come out with a new version of the Stanley 289 for a long while, and it looks like Lee Valley has done it one better. Time to start saving my pennies again.

    This is quite interesting. I’ve been suffering through using a #78, but I love the company’s small plow.

    Chris, thanks for the post, I have been wanting something better than my ECE plane which is hard to adjust and doesn’t work as good as a skew plane on cross grain. It looks just like their small plow plane which I really enjoy using. So I expect these planes will be just as easy to setup, comfortable to use and with great performance results. I just ordered the set and am really looking forward to using them in the shop.
