Outlet Lee Valley Stanley/Record Cap Irons With Veritas Bench Plane Blade

A cap iron serves to stiffen a plane blade, helping to damp vibration and reduce the potential for blade chatter.

Made of corrosion-resistant A2 steel, our 1/8″ thick cap irons are paired with our A2, O1 or PM-V11 blades. The leading edge of the cap iron is machined with a relief angle to ensure it always contacts the face of the blade, so no gap can form.

Our bench plane blades are 0.100″ thick, 25% thicker than the industry standard of 0.080″. Increased thickness reduces chatter. All are 7″ long with a 30° bevel.

Made in Canada.
