This all-steel Starrett automatic punch has a mechanism that automatically strikes a blow when downward pressure is applied. This punch can be used in many materials, including wood and you can adjust the force of the blow by turning the knurled cap. Once set to the desired force, the force will remain constant so the marks will be the same depth/size.
The point can also be removed should it ever...

Veritas Bench Hold Down
The Veritas hold-down can clamp workpieces to a bench or anywhere a 3/4" hole can be drilled.
Exceptionally high clamping forces can be obtained with this hold-down for two reasons. First, with the arm free to pivot independently, all levered forces are exerted downward, without any losses due to horizontal slippage from the canting action of the hold-down post. Second, the fine barb-shaped grooves...
Veritas Combination Plane
Originally created to replace stacks of hollow and round wooden planes, combination planes are defined by their flexibility. The Veritas® Combination Plane is no exception; only this one is designed with better adjustment and feed mechanisms for easy and accurate blade setting, and incorporates features to prevent blade vibration, making it reliable in use. It will tackle fundamental joinery,...

The back of this saw is injection moulded under high pressure onto the blade and stainless-steel handle-mounting bolt. This forms a solid...
Veritas Dovetail Saw
When we first saw this saw (!) we were a bit dubious but it has quickly grown on us. It is very comfortable. it is very affordable, it cuts well and can be re-sharpened. Not for the purists maybe but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This is what those clever chaps from Veritas say about this saw....
The Veritas dovetail saw is an innovative blend of tradition and technology. It incorporates...
Veritas Dowel Maker Master Set
The Veritas® Dowel Maker lets you make perfectly sized dowel from 1/4" to 1" dia. in 1/16" increments, up to 4' long (or longer in the larger diameters) from any wood species you wish. The process uses two blades (both highly wear-resistant A2 tool steel), one for roughing and the other for final sizing. You just rip square stock 1/8" oversize and drive it through the dowel maker using a square...
Veritas Dual Marking Gauge
The Veritas Dual Marking Gauge has two independently adjustable rods, which will allow you to set two measurements at once, so you can quickly alternate between them when transferring or marking repetitive dimensions. Projection up to 5-3/4" is easy to set, since an internal O-ring keeps light but constant friction on each rod; a thumbscrew firmly locks rods in place.
Like other Veritas marking...
Veritas Edge-Trimming Planes
Edge-trimming planes are used for final trimming cuts on jointed boards to ensure smooth edges at exactly 90° to the face, and for working end grain. In many instances you will need only one model; the appropriate choice is often based on which of your hands is dominant.
However, neither model is exclusively for left or right handed users, as the planes are in fact complementary. Having both...

The Veritas Fine Cut Dovetail Saw (20tpi) is best for stock of less than half an inch thick, this finer version of the standard Dovetail saw would complement your existing saw armoury.
The Veritas dovetail saws are an innovative blend of tradition and technology, incorporating the critical characteristics of a classic fine joinery saw but made using modern production processes and state-of-the-art...
Veritas Hardware Kits for Wooden Spokeshaves
Traditional wooden spokeshaves are still popular tools, despite modern alternatives that offer better control over depth of cut.
Typical spokeshave blades have tangs that wedge into holes in the tool body. Cut depth is adjusted by tapping the tang ends or the base of the blade. Many users find ways to refine this haphazard process, but most require a screwdriver or other tool, or the blade must...
Veritas Inlay Cutter Head for Router Plane
This simple attachment for a lets you score a shallow groove to accept inlaid purfling, banding or stringing, taking advantage of the plane’s fence and depth-adjustment mechanism to precisely control groove position and depth.
The cutter head holds a pair of included single-bevel slicing blades that score crisply defined groove outlines across, with or diagonal to the grain. By using a chisel...
Veritas Low Angle Spokeshave
The Veritas Spokeshave uses a basic traditional shape, not of the spokeshaves of the last century, but of the century before.
Until about 1900, the vast majority of spokeshaves were low-angle spokeshaves with wooden bodies. The blades were hand forged with upturned tangs that fitted into holes pierced in the body of the shave. Wedged in position, they were adjusted by tapping the ends of the...
Veritas Low-Angle Smoothing Plane + PM-V11 Blade
The Veritas low-angle smooth plane has three key uses. It is used to smooth large surfaces, preferably taking a diagonal cut, partly across and partly along the grain. Similarly, with its generous sides, it is ideal for shooting mitres. Finally, it is excellent for end-grain work. The low cutting angle of 37° minimizes fibre tearing. With a bed angle of 12°, this is a "bevel-up"...
Veritas Metric Bevel Setters
A sliding bevel is an excellent tool for transferring angles but not for reading them. This bevel setter allows you to set specific angles (from 0° to 60° in 1/2° increments) on a sliding bevel or a workpiece and to read angles already set. Both functions are useful for dovetailing, for machine set-up, for polygon work, or for accurately fitting a piece in a restricted location. Common dovetail...

Please note that Veritas do not produce a 3mm and a 1/8" blade, they consider them close enough in size so we only advertise the 1/8".
Sizes...
Veritas Plane Screwdriver
A regular screwdriver just doesn't work well on cap iron screws. A narrow blade can mar the cap-screw slot, and there's always the risk that the screwdriver tip will slip out of the slot altogether. Veritas have designed this screwdriver to make it both safe and easy to remove, replace or adjust cap irons.
It has a turned brass collar surrounding the tip to capture the head of a cap iron screw...
Veritas PM-V11 Bench Chisels
Precision made in Veritas' own machine shop, these bench chisels are milled from PM-V11 steel (Rc61-63), an innovative proprietary alloy. This metal's micro-structure makes it extremely durable, so it can withstand the impact of heavy chopping cuts without chipping or deforming as readily as other tool steels, even at bevel angles as low as 20°. Highly wear resistant, the edge typically...

The tried-and-true design of a side-clamping guide is familiar to most woodworkers. This side-clamping honing guide is a piece of modern-day engineering that improves on this established design while maintaining the flexibility of this type of guide. Chisels and plane blades ranging from 1/8" (3mm) to 2½" (63mm) fit securely for accurate honing. The unique three-point holding position...
Veritas Skew Rabbet + PM-V11 Blade
Like the Stanley #289 that inspired it, it is configured with a blade skewed at a 30° angle to reduce cut resistance, aid in shaving clearance, and help pull the fence tight against the workpiece. Because the blade sits flush with the side of the plane body, corner cuts are clean and accurate.
Adjustable in two axes (vertical and horizontal) for depth and projection, the scoring spur sits...
Veritas Small Scraping Plane
The Veritas Small Scraping Plane is a great tool for the final smoothing of small, flat surfaces, even highly figured timber, or small areas of difficult grain within a larger surface.
The scraping plane comes into action after the surface has been prepared as well as possible using a finely tuned smoothing plane. What the scraping plane does is to replace the need for sanding prior to applying...
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" (200mm) 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...
Veritas String Inlay Tool System
Used much like a marking gauge, this inlay tool lets you accurately cut narrow grooves in a workpiece as well as neatly slice fine strings from a sheet of veneer. Its interchangeable blade system lets you quickly swap blades to suit the activity.
The hook-shaped blade is designed to cut grooves. Used in a sweeping push-pull motion, it has outlining spurs on one side of the blade to score the groove...
Veritas Template Groove Cutter, Inlay Chisel and Pin Awl
With slender handles for pencil-like control, these Veritas tools are useful for freehand inlay work and following templates. They are also good complements to the Veritas inlay groove and slicing tool since the groove and chisel tools can be used to clean up, deepen or terminate grooves without widening them.
The Veritas template groove cutter is available in 0.025", 0.032" and 0.040"...
