This plane fence does not limit you to right angles; it can be used to accurately and
consistently plane any angle from 45° to 135°. The spring-loaded lever locks the angle
setting and can be rotated out of the way after locking. The anodized aluminum fence
can be attached to either side of the plane (for right- or left-handed use) with the
clamping knobs provided. The two additional threaded holes can be used to store the
clamping knobs when the fence is not in use, and the through-holes in the fence can
be used to attach a wooden guide to the inside face of the fence.
Installation
Bring the fence up to the side of
the plane until the step in the fence
makes contact with the sole of the
plane. Position the fence such that
the mounting holes are aligned
and insert the two clamping knobs.
Push the fence so that the step in
the fence is tight against the sole of
the plane, then tighten the two
clamping knobs.
