CirclDigital Posts: In my opinion you should build your own shooting board and start simple. You can simply add a 45 mitre extension when you need one, or even better build a dedicated board for that when you need it.

But start simple with a board that is as accurate as you can get it. Critital is that the fence is an accurate 90 degrees or as close as you can get it AND that the blade of your Miter Gauge Shooting Board 64 plane is parallel to the sole.

For your first shooting board I would use a good quality ply and simply glue two pieces together. Then use some wood to create the fence and make it somewhat adjustable by using screws.

Lots of plans available if you do shoooting quick search. Use some parrafin on the ply in combination with some hardwood for the side boxrd and it should run smoothly. The Veritas track only makes this part somewhat easier and it can be adjusted to precisely fit the miter gauge shooting board. Mine is a long one, you can also build it a bit smaller but I like this size so I can even plane some long grain when I like.

The thing I would change is that the bottom ply needs to be a tad wider so that it extends past the screws for the Veritas track I began making specialist shooting boards about 15 years ago, and writing about them 10 years ago. This is one I restored TLN sent me one which he signed These were copied by many, including Tico Vogt with his Super Chute. Here is one of mine with a LN The important feature of this and all boards with a 51 plane is the side fence This was a feature of the Stanley 52 which I wrote about when discussing these planes.

In fact, you simply cannot use a 51 without it since it will be poorly balanced by the rear handle. Here is that same board with a Donkey's Ear for shooting mitres I am happy to supply links shioting construction. The thing is, you do not need a miter gauge shooting board board with a All you need is a flat board What you need is a simple flat board, as long as it has the side fence.

Aug 31,  · A miter shooting board is simple to use. You hold the work in place against the stop block with one hand, and push or pull the plane with the other. Always work so that the plane pushes the work against the stop block. The miter shooting board is most obviously useful when doing inside mitering. Jan 13,  · The base of my new miter shooting board is made from birch plywood. I had no material which was thick enough for a base so I laminated to boards of 12mm ply. The two base boards The boards are approx. 30 cm wide x 45 cm long. Jan 20,  · On my regular shooting board the stop block is attached with a pivot in front (sliding track side) acting as pivot point. On the Miter Gauge Shooting Board Name opposite is it fixed with a bolt and a hand screw nut in an over sized hole. This let some room to shift. And you can adjust the stop block whenever it is out of square. Would that make sense for a miter shooting board?
