I can recommend that one as well. However, I only use it for exremely heavy removal. I haven’t actually measured, but on some occasions I must have taken off around 3mm with one pass. As far as I can remember the blade came with a pretty pronounced camber originally. First I thought I would like to have it just a little slighter, but I kind of went back to an even stronger camber I think. So this is for hogging off really a lot. For standard scrubbing I have turned to an old German style wooden smoothing plane. It was completely beat up and had a very open mouth, so I tuned it for a scrub. Nice thing about wooden planes for this amount of material removal is the light weight. It can’t beat Veritas of course when it comes to real hard work, but if you do a lot of work like that I can recommend following up with it. Have fun with your Veritas scrub, anyway! It’s a great plane. Enjoy!
