The Veritas SemiFill Smoother - early review
“SemiFill” is an abbreviation of Semi Infill. In response to repeated requests for an infill smoother, the SemiFill serves to build on an existing platform, the Bevel Up Smoother (#164 ½).

what a shame that it doesn't work
I had visions of a half dozen different wedges attached by lanyard to the rear tote.
Grind your blade to 25°, hone a secondary 3° bevel and the standard plane is low angle at 40°, then just slip in a
5° wedge to get common pitch,
10° wedge if you want York pitch
15° wedge for Middle pitch
20° wedge for Half pitch
or go full hog and use a 50° wedge to get a scraper planeregards from Alberta, Canada

Hi Ian
Does it make shavings? Yep. Is it any good at doing so? Nope. Actually, it is difficult to say - the infill needs to be glued in, or secured in some way. As it is, it has sandpaper underneath to act as non-slip, but this is not fully adequate. As a result the blade slips a little and it is not possible to obtain a stable depth of cut.
On the other hand I have built a plane like this. It does have a 25 degree bed ... and it is one of the finest smoothers I have used.
So it is more than just possible.
