Manufacturer: Veritas
Tool Type: Router
Model No: N/A
The Veritas medium router is a mid-sized router which sits between the
small Veritas router and the large Veritas router plane.
The medium router is a unique design to Veritas.
The router has a ductile cast iron body fitted with a stainless steel
depth stop and either a 1/4" straight cutter or a 1/2" straight cutter.
The Veritas medium router is capable of housing any of the larger Veritas
router plane cutters.
The router is used for cutting, cleaning and smoothing grooves / depressed
surfaces parallel with the surface of the work.
The router cutter can be set facing to the front for regular work or
it can be set towards the rear for bull-nose work. The forward facing
position has a closed mouth for maximum control when bridging recesses.
The chosen router cutter is placed in the router facing the preferred way, with
the stem passing upwards through the collar and with the bevel side of the cutter
facing upwards.
Once the cutter is in place, ensure the collar is secured by tightening the collar
locking screw.
The router is also equipped with an optional depth stop.
The router can cut up to 25mm (1 inch) deep with the depth stop in place or it can
cut up to 45mm (1 3/4 inch) with the depth stop.
The router body has a machined and ground flat sole with the upper side finished
with a black finish.
The patented Veritas router plane is made in Canada.

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
