After quite a bit of consideration, I recently bit the bullet and bought a Veritas router plane kit and after using it on a couple of projects I have some comments. First, this is a really really useful piece of kit. I have routed out notches in my split top benchtop filler bar, cleaned up the bottoms of blind mortises, routed dados for ledgers, and dealt with some particularly stubborn grain on a couple of tenons. In each case, this has been a joy to work with. I bought the whole kit with cutters from 1/16” to 3/4” The larger cutters are two piece to facilitate sharpening with the clever flat extension included in the kit. I debated a lot between open and closed mouth router planes but the Veritas solves this problem by being able to swivel the cutter clamp 180 degrees and lock the cutter in place on what would normally be the back side. It is a compromise on the open mouth cutter for sure but it does work well. Adjustment of the depth and depth stop is straightforward and using some brass setup blocks, very precise. The pitch is 1/32” / turn so you can accurately dial in your depth of cut even if you aren’t using the depth stop. The fence is well constructed and a lot sturdier than it looks, it also has mounting holes for a longer fence piece if you need to make one. Definitely happy with this one.
