Veritas 25-1/4" Planing Stop, 20 mm 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 25-1/4" stop the posts can be spaced up to 24-1/2" apart (center to center). At over two feet long, it will span the depths of most bench tops and can be cut shorter if desired.

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.
