Having just seen and used Pete's long mitre jig I have to say it's spot on and adjustable in all three planes so the next project is to build one on my shoot - Rob

the other day I made the mistake of making a shootingboard made from some spare Oak Vaneered MDF at work
Vertical piece rubs against the sole of the plane, prevents wear on the shooter.Just trying to get my head around this. Firstly. What is the purpose of the additional piece of cutting board? and what are the dimensions of it? Also how does that adjustment screw work on the mitre attachment? And how is it fitted? Threaded insert?
Rod - agreed, it's a bit 'bells and whistle' but it's essential to prevent wear on the shooter if (and I was prone to when I started to use them) you tip the plane in use, then wear will take place quite rapidly on the edge of the board. This is less likely to happen with a dedicated shooting plane like the LN No9 with a bigger bearing surface. That little wear strip is designed to minimise poor or incorrect technique - RobThe nylon running strip is also a luxury as all planes will stop cutting-in once the blade protrusion has cut in - the blades do not extend the full width on most planes so it will run/bear on the 3 to 5mm edge
