Lee Valley Stanley/Record Cap Irons Made By Veritas

A cap iron serves to stiffen a plane blade, helping to dampen vibration and reduce the potential for blade chatter.

Made of corrosion-resistant A2 steel, our 1/8″ thick cap irons are sized to fit Stanley and Record planes. The leading edge of the cap iron is machined with a relief angle to ensure it always contacts the face of the blade, so no gap can form.

The cap irons are also available paired with our A2, O1 or PM-V11 blades.

Made in Canada.
