Useful for both woodcarving and general woodworking, 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 on the post resist upward forces, yet still allow easy entry into a hole.
The long, low-profile arm is unobstructed at the clamping end, allowing good access to work from all sides.
- Can be used vertically in the top of a bench, or horizontally in a side skirt. Clamping forces are infinitely variable by tightening the clamping knob (machined brass) to any degree.
- The arm and body are made from the high-strength zinc aluminum alloy ZA-12, and the post from machined steel.
