Skew Rabbet Plane
Our Veritas®Skew Rabbet Planes, like the Stanley #289 that inspired them, are
configured with a full-width blade skewed at a 30° angle that enables the plane to cut
right into a corner of a rabbet. This arrangement, along with an adjustable fence and
a depth stop, allows them to cut accurate rabbets by hand. A scoring cutter enables
cross-grain work by severing the wood fibers ahead of the lapped blade.
Positioning the Blade
Caution: Be aware that the blade is
sharp; careless handling can result in
serious injury.
The position of the blade relative to the plane
body is essential to the correct performance
of any rabbet plane. The cutting edge needs to
be set to the proper projection to achieve the
desired depth of cut and needs to be parallel
to the sole of the plane. To ensure that it cuts
right into the corner of a rabbet, it is critical
that the inside (or leading) edge of the blade
extend just beyond the side of the plane.

It is equally important that the remaining edge (or side) of the blade behind the leading
corner does not extend or angle out farther than the tip, as this would prevent the
plane from cutting right into the corner. Note also that, because the blade is skewed,
the outer edge of the blade has been bevelled to prevent it from projecting beyond the
corner of the blade.
The proper blade position is most easily established using the two blade set screws.
First, back off the lever cap knob just enough to free up the blade, and then use your
finger to shift the blade over against the set screws. While sighting along the sole of
the plane, adjust the set screws until the correct blade position is attained. Once set,
the set screws will allow the blade to be removed from the plane and then returned to its
previously established position.
Depth of Cut
The depth of cut is the amount of material that is removed with each pass of the plane,
typically in the range from 0.005"to 0.020", depending on the hardness of the wood
being cut. Adjust the depth as required, tighten the lever cap knob, and take a test cut in a
scrap piece of wood to confirm setting.
Cutting Rabbets
The size of the rabbet to be cut is controlled by determining the width (A) with the
fence setting and the depth (B) with the depth stop setting.
Setting the Fence
The width of the rabbet is determined
by the fence setting. Loosen the two
fence knobs and slide the fence until the
distance from the face of the fence to the
outside edge of the blade is equal to the
required rabbet width. Retighten the
fence knobs. Maximum width of 11/2"
when using the entire blade.

Setting the Depth Stop
The depth of the rabbet is determined by the depth stop setting. To set the depth stop,
loosen the depth stop knob, slide the depth stop to the desired position, and retighten
the knob. Maximum rabbet depth is 3/4". The depth stop and knob can be removed to
permit cutting or cleaning up much deeper rabbets, if desired.
Setting the Scoring Blade
The scoring blade (or nicker) is used when
working across the grain. The circular blade
is attached off-center to an axle, allowing the
cutting depth to be adjusted by rotating the
blade and axle. (It can also be shifted to a neutral
position when it is not required.) To rotate the
axle, you must first release the locking screw
that holds it in position; it is located on the other
side of the plane, behind the front knob. Once
the scoring blade is in the desired position,
retighten the locking screw.
The outside (or cutting) edge of the scoring blade must extend just beyond the side
of the plane and be aligned with the corner of the blade. To adjust the scoring blade
relative to the side of the plane, loosen the fence locking knobs and remove the fence.
Unscrew and remove the front fence rod. Loosen the scoring axle locking screw.
Insert a small-slot screwdriver through the front fence rod hole to access a slotted set
screw that establishes the position of the scoring blade relative to the side of the plane.
While pressing the scoring blade and axle in against the set screw, turn the set screw
clockwise or counterclockwise, as required until the scoring blade is positioned just
proud of the side of the plane. Once the position of the scoring blade is established,
retighten the locking screw and reverse the steps to replace the fence rod and fence.

Auxiliary Fence
For cutting some rabbets, such as one where the depth is much greater than its width,
you can add a larger auxiliary fence to better register the plane to the workpiece.
Simply make a wooden fence, as plain or fancy as you wish, and attach it using wood
screws through the holes in the existing fence. Be sure to use screws that are not so
long that they break through the working face of the wooden fence.
Blade Sharpening
The skew rabbet plane blade has a 22° skew
and is ground with a 30° bevel. The face of
the blade is lapped. Additional sharpening
need only involve honing a small micro-
bevel. Since the blade is installed bevel
down, the cutting angle is determined by the
bed angle; in this case, 45°.
Note: The Veritas Skew Registration Jig
(05M09.03) for use with the Veritas Mk. II
Honing Guide (05M09.01) includes a setting
for 22°.
When sharpening the cutting edge, it is
important to maintain the correct skew
angle. Failure to do so may cause the side
edge of the blade to angle out farther than
the tip, preventing the plane from cutting
right into the corner.
The scoring blade will also need to be
resharpened over time. Remove the securing
screw, then the blade, and lap the face of the
scoring blade on a stone.

Care and Maintenance
The body of this plane is ductile cast iron and comes treated with rust preventative.
Remove this using a rag dampened with mineral spirits. Clean all machined surfaces.
We recommend that you initially, then periodically, apply a light coat of silicone-free
paste wax to seal out moisture and prevent rusting (as well as act as a lubricant for
smoother planing). Wipe off any wood dust from the surfaces that you will be waxing,
apply a light wax coating, let dry, then buff with a clean soft cloth. At the same time,
the solvents in the wax will remove any harmful oils left from your fingers that can
lead to corrosion.
Note: Since the face of the fence and the bottom of the depth stop will come in contact
with the workpiece, it is important to keep these parts coated with paste wax to prevent
marring the workpiece.
If storage conditions are damp or humid, the plane should, in addition to the treatment
outlined above, be wrapped in a cloth or stored in a plane sack. This precaution will
also guard against dings and scratches.
