Veritas has become a leader in product development, more than meeting the needs of discerning woodworkers. The Veritas team combine talent with modern manufacturing to make each Veritas product your lifelong companion.
After receiving many requests from their customers for a 90° version of the Dovetail Saw Guide, Veritas developed a Right-Angle Saw Guide for making finger joints, cutting tenons or on-the-spot trimming of small items. It is also ideal for beginners or children learning to make perfectly square perpendicular cuts on board ends.
Manufactured using the same precision-machined aluminium extrusion as our dovetail saw guides, each reference surface has an embedded 3/4" rare-earth magnet and is covered with a low-friction UHMW pad. The magnets keep the saw aligned as you cut; the pads allow the saw to slide easily against the reference surface. The clamp can accommodate material from 1/4" to 1" thick.
The guide can be used with any backless saw that has approximately 0.005" or less of tooth set. The Veritas Dovetail Saw is a suitable companion. With a 2" x 8-1/2", 22 TPI blade, the Japanese Dozuki tooth form is effective in both crosscuts and rip cuts.
