Jointer Fence 

05P30.01

The Veritas

®

 Jointer Fence allows you to shoot accurate and consistent square 

or bevelled edges with most* iron or steel bench planes. The integral rare-earth 
magnets make it quick and easy to attach or remove the fence from either side 
of all sizes of bench planes, from a smooth plane (no. 4) to a jointer (no. 8). 
Though it may trouble you to fi nd that the fence may not be perfectly square 
to the sole of your plane, this is not a problem, as the important relationship 
is between the blade and the fence, and this can be adjusted using the blade 
lateral adjustment on the plane. As supplied, it can be used to plane edges 
perfectly square to the face of your workpiece. It can also be used to shoot 
angles less than 90° when a bevelled wooden guide is attached to the inside 
face of the fence.

* Excluding our Vertias bevel-up jointer, smoother and custom bench planes.
