Shoot′ing-board.
1. (
Stereotyping.) A board or planed metallic slab with a plane-race on which an object is held while its edge is squared or reduced by a side-plane.
It is used by carpenters and joiners, but the form shown in
Fig. 5026 is especially adapted to the uses of the stereotyper in trimming the edges of stereotype-plates.
The plate is held by the left hand upon the upper bench, resting against the bar. The side-plane
a is reciprocated in the race, the bit shaving away the edge of the plate presented to it.
