Q: What are miniature planing stops used for?
Veritas miniature planing stops slip over a pair of miniature surface dogs to give thin or narrow workpieces a solid edge to plane against.
05P8654 - Veritas Miniature Planing Stops, pr.

Our miniature planing stop is designed to slip over a pair of miniature surface dogs (sold separately) to provide a reliable registration surface when working on thin or narrow workpieces, allowing materials to be worked without obstruction.
For tasks that involve the application of horizontal force in one direction, such as planing, a single stop can be used with no additional clamping. Stops can also be placed perpendicular to one another to capture two edges of the workpiece to prevent movement.
Offered as a pair. Each planing stop measures 4" × 1/2" and is made in Canada from 0.10” thick anodized aluminum.
A simple way to secure miniature work without the constraints of typical clamping methods.
Veritas miniature planing stops slip over a pair of miniature surface dogs to give thin or narrow workpieces a solid edge to plane against.
Yes, the surface dogs are available separately from the planing stops, so both are needed together to create the registration surface.
Yes, one stop alone can resist the horizontal force of planing without any additional clamping, since the force pushes the work against it rather than lifting it.
Placing two stops perpendicular to each other lets you capture a workpiece's edges on two sides at once, useful for registering narrow or irregular pieces.
They're anodized aluminum, 0.10" thick, sized so they hold up to repeated contact from plane soles without excessive wear.
