PM-V11 Replacement Blade for #4-1/2, #5-1/2", #6, #7 Stanley/Record 2-3/8" 30º

Veritas has added PM-V11 Blades for Stanley and Record planes to their line-up. This model will fit any existing Stanley or Record #4-1/2, #5-1/2, #6 & #7 Bench Planes and will dramatically improve the quality of your cut. 

A premium blade material, PM-V11 tool steel (Rc61-63) has a unique composition that allows it to take a keen edge that is highly resistant to impact and wear, yet is as easy to sharpen as A2 steel using water stones or other common sharpening media.

We found that PM-V11 holds an edge much longer compared to other steels; the rate of wear will vary from user to user and from one wood to another, but in our tests, we found the PM-V11 blade edge to last at least twice as long in use as an A2 blade before it needs sharpening – a significant improvement over any other blade steel in use today.

All Veritas PM-V11 blades are lapped on the face side to a flatness tolerance of 0.0005" or better, with an average roughness (Ra) of 5 micro-inches (0.000005") or better.

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

Due to minor manufacturing variations over the last century, the pawl on the end of the lateral adjust lever on older planes may have to be filed slightly to fit in the blade slot.
