Veritas Barron 1:4 Dovetail Saw Guide

Magnetic Dovetail Guides for Precise Hand Cut Joinery

Take the guesswork out of hand cut dovetails with this precise magnetic saw guide for perfect cuts every time, developed by British master craftsman David Barron as a licensed modification of the Veritas design. Designed to help maintain a consistent cutting angle, the guide makes it easier to produce neat, accurately fitted dovetail joints using a quality Japanese dozuki saw.

Each dovetail guide is manufactured from anodised aluminium and incorporates recessed rare earth magnets beneath a specially coated surface, helping the saw follow the intended cutting line. The underside features a replaceable, high grip layer to keep the guide stable on the timber without clamps, making it easy to reposition as you work.

• 1:4 Dovetail Guide: Provides a more pronounced dovetail profile, often chosen for softwood joinery where a strong mechanical interlock is desirable.
• Accurate saw alignment: Magnetic guidance helps maintain a consistent angle throughout each angled cut.
• Aluminium construction: Anodised aluminium provides a strong workshop ready guide.
• Smooth cutting action: The low friction contact surface allows the saw blade to glide freely along the guide.

• Reliable positioning: A replaceable, high friction underside helps prevent movement during use.

• No clamps required: Position and reposition the guide quickly between cuts.
• Complementary saw guides: Matching 45° Barron Veritas guide and 90° Barron Veritas guides are available separately.
• Manufacturer: Veritas
• Please note: The red guide shown in the product image is the 1:4 dovetail guide supplied with this listing. The green guide is shown for illustrative purposes only to demonstrate how the guide is used; it represents a different dovetail angle and is not included with your purchase.

Whether you're making drawers, boxes or fine furniture, this Barron dovetail guide offer a practical way to improve consistency and precision when working with traditional hand tools. Their compact design also makes them well suited to smaller workshops and bench setups.
