Veritas Magnetic Saw Guide - 350mm  (Ref: 952956)

This anodised aluminium guide helps keep your saw on the right track and perpendicular to a workpiece. It provides a registration surface about 32mm tall. It is particularly useful when crosscutting tenon shoulders or the edges of a dado, which is where you want your saw to cut straight and true. You can hold the guide onto your workpiece with a hand or secure it with clamps. The machined reference surface has three embedded magnets and a covering of UHMW low friction material. The magnets help keep your saw in contact with the guide while the pad allows it to glide along the reference face. The bottom of the guide has two high friction strips to resist slipping on a surface. It also has a T-slot to accept a pair of 50mm capacity clamps (optional accessory). The guide is available in 200 or 350mm lengths. Made in Canada.

Veritas Magnetic Saw Guide - 200mm  (Ref: 952955)

Veritas Dual Marking Gauge  (Ref: 952906)

With two independently adjustable rods, this gauge can scribe both sides of a mortice at once. The length of each ground stainless-steel rod is very precise. By registering the tails against either side of a chisel, you can set the cutters to span the exact width of the chisel blade. Projection is easy to set, an internal O-ring keeps light but constant friction on each rod; a thumbscrew locks the setting. One rod has its cutting edge at the extreme end of the rod, making it useful for transferring dimensions or as a depth gauge. As with all Veritas marking gauges, the wheel cutters avoid the problems of wandering that can occur with pin-style marking gauges. They cut wood fibres rather than tear them and they mark cleanly, even on cross grain. These hardened steel wheel cutters scribe perfectly at any point of their circumference. They are oriented with the cutting bevels facing in opposite directions, so you can always mark your line with the bevel facing the waste side of any cut. Each cutter is fully retractable for safe storage or to permit use with a single cutter.

The rods project off-centre from the anodized aluminium body, which helps the gauge resist rolling on a workbench and maximizes the area of the 50mm diameter brass face that can register against the work piece. 190mm overall, the gauge has a setting range from zero to 145mm. The aluminium housing has a brass face and the rods are stainless steel.

Veritas Beam Compass  (Ref: 474583)

There are some circle layout jobs that ordinary compasses just aren't suitable for, a beam compass (or trammel) is much more practical especially when drawing large diameter accurately. Using a single beam section, the Veritas® beam compass deals with circles from 38mm(1.1/2") to 610mm(24") in diameter. Additional sections take you up to 2,030mm(80") for circular tables, rockers, arches, etc. It has carbide-tipped points that readily scribe metal as well as wood, although the pencil head is usually used for marking out on wood. A micro-adjust feature quickly gives accurate settings. All of this comes in a fitted wooden case that even includes a small brass centre pivot disc for use where it is important not to mar work. The beams are steel and the fittings are all solid brass.

Veritas Micro-Adjust Gauge - Non-Graduated  (Ref: 475315)

Hardened steel wheel cutter
Cuts wood fibres, rather than tears
Marks cleanly, even on cross grain
The wheel retracts into the face of the gauge for storage and protection
The gauges are very easy to set
Use as a depth gauge to transfer measurements

There are two main problems with a typical marking gauge: you have to tilt it just right to avoid pin chatter and, even then, the pin tends to follow the wood grain, throwing off your line. The Veritas wheel marking gauges solve both problems. The hardened steel wheel cutter scribes perfectly at any point of its circumference. Since it cuts wood fibres rather than tears, it marks cleanly, even on cross grain. The wheel's singlesided bevel also pulls the gauge face against the stock, maintaining accuracy.

Its cutting edge is at the extreme end of the rod, useful for transferring dimensions such as tenon shoulder and mortise depth. The wheel retracts into the face of the gauge for storage and protection. The gauges are very easy to set, since each has an internal O-ring to keep light but constant friction on the rod.

The Veritas standard marking gauge is a great workhorse and excellent value. Due to the number of requests for a micro-adjust feature, Veritas offer a second model with a slightly longer body fitted with a two-stage collet to allow fine adjustment of the cutting wheel. The collet has a fine-pitch thread; one revolution advances or retracts the wheel 0.8mm. The knurled thumbscrew then locks the setting. The rod of the Imperial gauge is graduated to 6" in 16ths; the metric version has graduations to 150mm. Very comfortable gauges to use.

Veritas Saddle Square - Standard  (Ref: 202388)

Allow the scribing of two perpendicular surfaces at one time
Made of anodized aluminium
Version is available for stud wall layout


Transferring a line from face side to face edge and vica versa of timber is now as easy as falling off a log. With this saddle square the line can be marked in both planes without moving the square and maintaining prime accuracy without really trying. Produced in anodised aluminium to a practical but stylish design, which is available in two sizes. One at 50mm wide, the standard, forms an "L", of 32 x 57mm, the large version 34 x 84mm and 38mm wide has a central slot for locating and marking stud locations accurately.

Veritas Mitre Saddle  (Ref: 202386)

Transferring a 45° mitre line to an adjacent perpendicular face is never easy, judging the exact position can be tricky. Not so, if it can be done with a single tool such as this Veritas Mitre Saddle. Smaller stock is also much easier to mark using this tool. The square leg is 55mm long, and the mitre face 45mm long by 32mm deep. Made from anodised aluminium.

Veritas Centre Finder  (Ref: 610133)

Mark timber up to 6"across
Knife edge steelblade
Pre-drilled for mounting
Made from die-cast aluminium
Requires no effort
Works on square/cylinder stock
Good on other surfaces too
Accurate to 1/12"

A simple and accurate tool for finding the centre of a piece of timber. Made from aluminium and pre-drilled for mounting conveniently near the lathe, it uses a knife-edged steel blade to score the end of the workpiece. Simply place a square or cylinder (up to 6" across) in the centre finder, tap it with a mallet, turn the wood 90° and tap it again. The result is two score lines which mark the centre of the workpiece. The Veritas Centre Finder functions well even with work that is not square. Just score the end of your workpiece four times rather than twice. This will give you a small polygon and you can then dot the centre of it by eye. It particularly shines when work has to be replaced on the lathe after waste ends have been removed. Because it is so accurate, you can re-establish the exact centre of any cylinder.
