Tool Type: Miniature Router
Model No: N/A
The Veritas miniature router plane is a tiny version of the large Veritas
router plane.
The Veritas miniature router is a two-handled hand router plane used
for cutting, cleaning and smoothing grooves / depressed surfaces parallel
with the surface of the work.
This router is primarily suited towards model makers, violin makers,
instrument makers and any work which requires intricate grooving work.
The Veritas miniature router comes equipped with a 3mm (1/8") A2 tool
steel cutter.
As with the larger Veritas router, the router cutter can be set facing
to the front for regular work, they can be set towards the rear for
bull-nose work.
The 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.
The cutter has a notch at the top of its stem which locates with the base of the
stainless steel depth adjustment knob. When passing the cutter through the aluminium
collar, ensure the collar is released.
The collar has a very useful spring loaded action to ensure the blade is held in
place when the collar is released.
Once the cutter is in place, ensure the collar is secured by tightening the collar
locking screw.
The Veritas router plane is fitted with two small splayed hardwood wooden knobs
(formerly Bubinga).
The router body is made from investment cast stainless steel and is finished with
a black finish. The sole of the router has been machined and ground flat.
The Veritas miniature router is presented in a fitted presentation box which helps
keep the router safe and secure.
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."
