<p>Standard block plane 20°. For heavier cuts with the grain. Bevel angle 25°. Results in a normal cutting angle of 45°.</p> <p>PM-V11 Steel</p> <p>PM-V11 steel is made from a new, powder metallurgy steel alloy. With its ultra-fine and homogeneous material structure and extreme hardness (HRC 61-63), this steel has double the edge-retention capacity of A2 steel. The extremely hard-wearing blades allow a razor-sharp edge and are highly durable even at a bevel angle of less than 20°. All blades come with a 2° microbevel and can be sharpened on conventional waterstones.</p> <p>Compact all-round plane for fine shavings. The mouth opening can be adjusted according to the application, using the configurable shoe (for removing thick or thin shavings). The indentations in the sides make it easier to guide this handy plane accurately. Central setscrew for blade depth and lateral adjustment. Please note: The plane is supplied in two parts (plane body and blade).</p> <p>Veritas Planes</p> <p>The corporate philosophy of Canadian tool manufacturer Veritas aims to develop new adjustment mechanisms and enhance historic plane design. With bodies made of stress-relieved spheroidal cast iron, these tools are highly resistant to cracking and distortion. Their soles are perfectly plane and trued at right angles to the sides. Their thick blades of high-strength A2 steel are hardened to 60-62 HRC and additionally subjected to a special low-temperature process to achieve a finer grain. Veritas planes are optionally available with PM-V11 blades. (The Custom series models are equipped with PM-V11 blades as standard). Two setscrews on the sides constrain the blade laterally, keeping it in place regardless of the type of stress applied. Unless otherwise stated, the blade is angled at 45°. With their material combination of finely-ground or black-coated cast iron bodies, polished brass setscrews and beautiful torrefied maple handles, these planes are also pleasing to the eye</p> <p>Blade material PM-V11™</p> <p>Blade width 41 mm</p> <p>Blade thickness 3.2 mm</p> <p>Overall length 160 mm</p> <p>Weight 800 g</p> <p>Blade angle 20 °</p> <p></p>

5/ 5
<h2 class="MsoNormal"><span>Amber for the preparation of oil paints</span></h2> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>The <strong>Amber Colophony</strong> is prepared by exposing Amber to a short-term temperature which occurs in vacuum, coupled with the simultaneous separation of the gaseous and liquid elimination products, results in the formation of a particularly high-quality rosin which is free from extraneous substances and is particularly suitable for the production of oil varnishes. </span><span lang="it" xml:lang="it">The reaction takes place at 300-450 Celsius.</span></p> <h3 class="MsoNormal"><span lang="it" xml:lang="it">It is above all indicated for the production of high quality varnishes in lutherie</span></h3> <h3>Our evaluation on the use of <strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-size:11px;">At </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">Grandi Liutai</strong><span style="font-size:11px;">, we have </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">evaluated the use</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> of</span><strong style="font-size:11px;"> amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> and found that its main function is to confer greater resistance and hardness to the paint, while also improving its adhesion. However, the use of </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> in the preparation of oil paints presents some unique characteristics. Firstly, it is necessary to have a reliable source of high-quality amber, as its purity and properties can vary significantly. We have found that the processing of </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> can be complicated and require the use of specialized equipment. Despite these disadvantages, we have seen that the use of pyrolyzed amber can bring numerous advantages in the preparation of high-quality oil paints. Paints containing pyrolyzed amber have greater wear resistance, adhesion, and durability over traditional oil paints. In addition, </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> can improve the transparency and brightness of the paint, giving paintings a more vibrant and brilliant appearance. In summary, Grandi Liutai is satisfied with the use of </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> in the preparation of oil paints, which may require some attention and expertise but can lead to extremely satisfying results. When used correctly, </span><strong style="font-size:11px;">amber Colophony</strong><span style="font-size:11px;"> can significantly improve the quality and durability of oil paints, giving paintings a more vibrant, brilliant, and long-lasting appearance.</span></p>

<h2>counterform for violin, viola and cello</h2> <p>The counterform “La Stabile” is a classic of our production. Born over 20 years ago from an idea of ​​a Cremonese luthier, it was then redesigned and implemented over time following the many tips of the luthiers who use it. The basic idea of ​​this simple design is to keep the top or back of the violin tightly in the stops, without damaging the profile. Starting from this concept we have created a mechanics that pushes on the edges diagonally, and not sideways (like all other counterforms in the market) where the grain of the wood is fragile.
