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.
