Veritas Miniature Rechthand-Schabenhobel

Set it up for a small box joint jig and the adjustable mouth took a shaving so fine it practically vanished under the magnifier. Cuts square right out of the box, and the weight feels reassuring in the hand for such a little tool.

The tiny footprint is perfect for getting into tight corners on small frames where my full-size plane just can't reach. The adjustable mouth is crisp and precise, and the blade took a razor edge right out of the box. I've already used it on three projects and it hasn't disappointed once.

For jeweler's-scale moldings and tiny tenon shoulders this thing is a revelation — the compact footprint lets me get into spots my full-size plane simply can't reach, and the setup was dead simple right out of the box. Cuts are glassy clean with zero chatter, even on end grain.
