Veritas Router Plane Fence

I got the fence when I got my Veritas one and I've used it a few times now.  Although - several of those times were due to lesson work in the Hand Tool School, which has a router plane with a fence in its minimal semester one toolkit.  (no plow plane in semester one).

It's handy to have.

Say that you're trying to put a groove in a workpiece and there's not quite enough meat for the fence on your plow plane to register well enough to keep the groove bottom parallel to the board face.  A router plane with fence flips the equation.  The router plane's large body can ride on the board face, ensuring the parallel groove bottom, while the fence can track the edge.
