Q: How do you attach this to a framing square?
Slide the framing square fully into the slot, then tighten the two brass thumbscrews; sliding it in fully keeps the Veritas Square Fence's face parallel to the square.
05N5401 - Veritas Square Fence
A carpenter's square is frequently needed just because of its size. The key disadvantage of such a square (its lack of a supporting fence ledge) can now be eliminated using a Veritas square fence.
The 8" long anodized aluminum extrusion can be readily attached to either the stock or blade of your square (depending upon intended use) with the two integral brass screws. The face of the square fence aligns with the edge of the workpiece while the weight of the framing square rests on the material.
One side offers a 1" high face. Flipping it over, the opposite side has a 1/4" face, letting you use it on workpieces this thin without having to slide them to the edge of your workbench. Its purposeful shape not only acts as a versatile fence, but also gives your framing square a handle, hugely increasing its utility. Ideal for use on round-edge material and sheet stock. Made in Canada.

Yes, flipping the fence over registers its thinner 1/4" flange against the edge, which works on sheets as thin as 1/4".
The fence's slot has a 3/4" depth, so if you're reading the square's graduations from the workpiece edge, deduct 3/4" from that reading to get the true dimension.
Yes, it can be mounted on either the body or the blade of the framing square, depending on which orientation suits the layout you're doing.
