Veritas 9 3/4" Planing Stop, 20mm Posts

These low-profile work stops present a broad bearing surface. Particularly useful with thin or narrow workpieces, the 1 1/4" wide anodized aluminum rail projects just 0.22" above the bench top, allowing materials as thin as 1/4" 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 slide along a T-track on the underside of the rail and fit 20 mm diameter dog holes. On this 9 3/4" stop the posts can be spaced up to 9" 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. A simple way to secure work without the constraints of typical clamping methods.
