Replacement Blade PM-V11 for Stanley #3 & #5-1/4
- Veritas top-quality replacement blades for Stanley or Record planes are now available in proprietary PM-V11 steel
- 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 which is 25% thicker than the industry standard of 0.080"
- Increased thickness reduces chatter
- All blades are 7" (178mm) long, have a 30° bevel and fit almost all makes of the plane sizes listed
Please Note: 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.
