Veritas 05G23-01 Planing Stop

This work stop acts much like a bench dog; but with a lower profile and a much wider bearing surface. Particularly useful with thin or narrow workpieces; the 1-1/4inch x 9-3/4inch wide anodized aluminium rail projects just 0.22inch above the benchtop; allowing materials as thin as 1/4inch to be worked or planed without obstruction. It also provides a reliable registration surface for materials too narrow to span two adjacent bench dogs. The two steel posts; sized to fit 3/4inch dog holes; slide along a T-track on the underside of the rail and can be spaced up to 9inch apart (center to center). For tasks that involve the application of horizontal force in one direction; such as planing; a single stop can be used with no additional clamping. Stops can also be placed perpendicular to one another to capture two edges of the workpiece to prevent rotation; useful when working with a larger workpiece or for cross-grain planing. A simple way to secure work without the constraints of typical clamping methods.
