Extra Info: What is a Router? Router Videos
Manufacturer: Veritas
Tool Type: Router
Model No: N/A
The Veritas small router is the smallest of the standard Veritas router
range.
The Veritas small router is Veritas's version of the
Stanley 271 router
and the
Record 722 router.
Veritas have made a miniature version of the large Veritas router plane.
The
Veritas miniature router
is smaller than the Veritas small router and forms part of the Veritas
miniature range.
The router has a ductile cast iron body fitted with a 1/4" straight cutter.
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 router cutter is placed in the router facing the preferred way, with the stem
passing upwards through the blade clamp collar and with the bevel side of the cutter
facing upwards.
When switching between functions the clamping mechanism must be repositioned to
correspond with the required function.
The brass knurled edged blade locking nut has a spring loaded design which helps
by holding the cutter in place when making adjustments and helps prevent the blade
falling through.
The cutter is secured and released by turning the brass knurled edged blade locking
nut.
The depth of cut on the small Veritas router is set by hand up to a maximum depth
of 25mm (1"); there is no fine adjustment with this router.
The router body has a machined and ground flat sole with the upper side finished
with a black finish.
The router is presented in a brown cardboard box with a photo label of the small
router and the core details. The box also contains a Veritas small router instructions
leaflet.
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."
