Power Tool Guide
05J50.01
®
The Veritas
Power Tool Guide is a collapsible straightedge that can be clamped to
any material under 1" thick. The 52" tool guide (05J50.03) can be clamped across
sheet material up to 52". The 8' Power Tool Guide (05J50.01), or the 48" tool guide
extension (05J50.04) added to the 52" tool guide, can be clamped across sheet
material up to 100". The advantage this guide has over other 8' guides is that it may
be dismantled quickly and easily for cutting smaller sheet material as well as for
easier storage or transport. The guide includes a pair of 1" capacity clamps that can
be positioned anywhere along its length. For clamping material thicker than plywood
sheets, a pair of 2" capacity clamps (05J50.09) is available separately. An optional 12"
traveller (05J50.02) used in conjunction with a user-made base plate ensures that your
power tool will effortlessly follow the intended line with greater safety. The utility of
the traveller is further enhanced with the optional position stop (05J50.10) that clamps
onto either guide rail.

  • Page 2: Safety Rules

    Safety Rules These safety instructions are meant to complement those that came with your power tool. We suggest that you reread those, in addition to these listed here before you begin to use this product. To use this product safely, always follow both sets of safety and general instructions.
  • Page 3 For circular saws or jigsaws, you can run the power tool in either direction along the guide. For routers, because of the clockwise rotation of the bit, you should only run the tool around the guide in a counterclockwise direction as shown in Figure 4. The router will have a tendency to pull away from the guide should it be fed in the opposite (clockwise) direction.
  • Page 4 Caution: When using the tool guide with the extension, avoid lifting the guide from one end, as this can cause the links to break. Instead, lift the guide from the center and place it onto your bench or workpiece. Traveller The traveller can greatly increase the speed, accuracy and safety of cuts made with any power tool.
  • Page 5 Affi x the power tool to the board. You may need some extra hardware for this, particular to your power tool. To use a tool with the traveller, insert the outermost leg of the traveller extrusion into the mating slot on the clamped guide, as shown on the front cover. Remember to account for the base plate-to-blade (or base plate-to-bit) offset distance.
