You missed one big feature of the Veritas. The shape of the cap iron and dimple in the side make it ideal for using on a shooting board

My wife wanted to get me a special present for my 60th birthday 2 years ago and I selected a premium bevel up plane. It took me almost 2 months to decide on the Veritas over the Lie-Nielsen and there were 3 deciding factors: 1) I did not want to 'tap, tap' for blade adjustment; 2) The 'dimple' on the sides of the plane (plus the shape of the cap) makes shooting board use easier, and 3) I like the mouth adjustment better on the Veritas. I do not have large hands and the Veritas is a heavy beast, but I have gotten continual excellent results with the Veritas plane. I was so satisfied that I ended up getting the Veritas Bevel-Up Smoother Plane for my 61st birthday!

Wonderful informative video. I have enjoyed seeing how the channel has progressed in a short time.

I love my L-N low angle Jack. One of the best purchases I have made on my wood working journey. I have four blades, one flat blade, one rounded (slightly) that I use as a smoother, a toothed blade that I use for flattening thin panels for ukulele fronts and backs and finally a high angle scraper blade. I have not used sth scraper blade much, but he other three get much use. This is the only full size hand plane I own. Thanks for the comparison!

Inherited a no name beveled up plane struggled with it for years. Bought the Vertas bevel up Jack plane. Highly recommend this type of plane for occasional users. L N plane did not have the features like the Veritas as stated in your video. Your upgrades in your podcast is money well spent

Thanks mate - good video.

Great video. I'm thinking I'd lean towards the Veritas because wider blade should translate to taller shooting ability. Not that I shoot a lot of 2" or bigger stock. Conundrum.

Both companies build high quality products. Nice demo

Great vid as always, bud. I had to take a look at the tote on my Veritas. Mine has to screws going down the full length of the tote. Looks like there might have been some different tote styles over the years.

Thanks for one more video! Now pleaaaaase compare Veritas bevel up jointer to other jointers💪🏼😃

The knob screw on the Lie Nielsen 62 is prone to overtightening, which causes the brass disc to separate from the knob. The Luban 62 (or Wood River elsewhere) has the mouth adjuster of the Stanley/LN and Norris lateral adjuster of Veritas. Great plane but the build quality and fit and finish is nothing like LN or Veritas. The advantage of the shorter narrower LN is it becomes the ideal "do everything plane".

being a canadian, i'm sort of a veritas fan and lie neilson stuff is rare here. not surprising really since our largest and best tool store chain is lee valley. i love their tools and have quite a few including the la jack

I've been wondering for a while now, how does a low angle plane with 38' bevel compare to a standard plane. The angle of attack should basically be the same but what is the impact of no chip breaker on the feel for the user and finish on the timber?

Nice. Do you find a low angle jack to be an essential piece of kit?

You need no sideways play at the sharp end of the iron for the hammer or Norris lateral adjuster to work best. The Veritas has them for that reason On my wooden planes I have grub screws. They make a huge difference. Lateral adjuster on the Lie Neilsen is going to be a pain and the Veritas tote is better. The best totes are on Qiangshens.

My issue with a plane like the LN is that it requires very accurate sharpening. If you sharpen by hand and the cutting edge is even a couple degrees off 90, you might not be unable to adjust it enough to get it aligned with the mouth. I think that's the whole point of a lateral adjuster, to give you leeway so you aren't forced to go back to the stones (or back to the grinder). I think Leonard Bailey and stanley wouldn't have gone through the trouble to include a lateral adjuster on any planes unless this was an issue. It might have been easier to manufacture and easier for us to use if they added those "bumpers" to to guide it straight. If you use a honing guide or you're good at sharpening, it's a non-issue. If you're like me, you'd run into problems. I've wound up with skewed edges even with a honing guide because of the veritas mark 2 honing guide's manufacturng quality control issues.

The jist of every one of your videos is... it's preference.

The veritas has much more mass than the LN. The LN feels vague in the hand compared to the Veritas. I tried both today and hands down Veritas win, and i own LN planes.

У меня Veritas, и он нравится мне гораздо больше, чем Lie Nilsen, потому что он более технологичен и в нем гораздо больше маленьких умных решений. Однако у меня есть одна очень глупая история связанная с системой ограничения закрывания ротика. Однажды мне нужно было вынуть из рубанка 50° лезвие, которое там стояло и заменить его свеже заточенным 25° лезвием. Старое лезвие было плотно зафиксировано двумя винтиками находящимися справа и слева. У меня рядом не было маленькой отвертки, но я смог довольно легко его извлечь. Но когда я стал ставить туда новое лезвие, оно оказалось чуть-чуть шире и я никак не мог уложить его на постель, оно застряло между винтиками и встало с перекосом. Я постарался очень бережно извлечь его, однако в какой-то момент все равно произошёл рывок, режущая кромка ударилась об ограничительный винт ротика, и на ней образовался довольно глубокий скол прямо по центру лезвия. Конечно, я сам виноват в том, что не выкрутил два фиксирующих винтика, однако ирония ситуации в том, что заточка лезвия оказалась разрушена из-за того самого винта, который должен предотвращать его повреждения. С тех пор я почти никогда не затягиваю винты в бортах базы.

Thank you so much for stating measurements in ENGLISH'

Norris style adjusters are just a little sketchy for my taste. If you bump it while moving the blade in or out, you're skewed! (pun intended) I'll stick with the LN. With the precision bed milling, skew is pretty much impossible if you sharpen your blade properly. My LN 5 1/2 beats either of these planes for shooting, so.... Thanks for sharing!
