for Low-Angle Block Plane
Our tote and tall knob convert your Veritas®Low-Angle Block Plane into a small
bevel-up smoothing plane. To install the tote, skewing of the blade is required to
gain access to the mounting screws. The tote then slips into place and is prevented
from shifting due to small projections engaging in mating holes at the rear of the
plane body.
Tote Installation
Loosen the lever cap wheel and move the adjustment mechanism completely to one
side. This moves the heel of the blade to the opposite side, fully exposing one of the
threaded holes used for mounting the tote (as shown in Figure 2).

Install one of the mounting screws so that its top is just below the bottom of the blade,
as shown in Figure 3. Repeat for the second mounting screw, but move the adjustment
mechanism in the opposite direction.
Slide the tote assembly (as shown in Figure 3) under the blade until both projections
on the tote arm register in the rear holes in the block plane body. Firmly tighten both
mounting screws, skewing the blade as required for access. Retighten the lever cap
wheel after the lateral adjust has been reset as required.
If you wish to revert to using your low-angle block plane without the tote, reverse the
procedure, but do not remove the mounting screws. They can be bottomed out in their
holes, where they will safely remain and not loosen from vibration.
Tall Knob Installation
With the plane resting on a flat surface, unscrew the brass front knob and replace it
with the tall knob, as shown in Figure 4.
