VERITAS 05P37.05 User manual

The Veritas®Bevel-Up Jointer Fence allows you to shoot accurate and
consistent square or bevelled edges with your Veritas®Bevel-Up Jointer. The
anodized aluminum fence can be attached to either side of the plane with
the clamping knobs provided. A set screw in the fence allows the angle or
squareness of the fence to be accurately controlled. Two additional threaded
holes have been provided for storage of the clamping knobs when the fence is
not in use. A clearance hole has also been provided to allow access to the set
screw that controls the lateral position of the blade with the fence installed.
As supplied, the 2"tall guiding face 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.

Installation
Bring the fence up to the side of the plane until the step in the fence makes contact
with the sole of the plane. Position the fence such that the mounting holes are
aligned and insert the two clamping knobs. Push the fence so that the step in the
fence is tight against the sole of the plane, then tighten the two clamping knobs.
The plane and jointer fence have been configured such that the fence can be
installed for either right- or left-handed use.
Initial Set-Up
When the fence is first installed on the plane, it
will have to be set or calibrated. Use the set screw
between the two clamping knobs to fine tune the
angle or squareness of the fence to the sole. Install
the fence with the clamping knobs with light
pressure. Flip the plane upside down and check
for squareness with an engineer’s square. Adjust
as required by turning the set screw in or out and
retightening or loosening the clamping knobs as
required. When square, fully tighten the clamping
knobs. When the fence is removed and reinstalled,
check the squareness and adjust as required.

Instructions
It is important that the fence be held firmly against the face of the workpiece
being planed in order to get accurate results. This ensures that the fence will
govern the plane’s orientation, not the sole. Press the fence firmly against the
workpiece with your forward hand and push the plane with your other hand.
Angles other than 90°
Bevel angles other than 90° can be achieved by attaching a bevelled piece of
wood to the fence using #10 flat-head screws through the countersunk holes.
