$85 · Hold Down Clamping Tool

Veritas Hold Down, in original box, model 5G1401. Like new. Can be positioned vertically in the top of a bench, or horizontally in a side skirt. It can clamp work pieces to a bench or anywhere a 3/4" hole can be drilled. The arm is made from forged steel; the other components are steel, aluminum alloy and brass. High clamping forces can be obtained with this hold-down: . 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 . 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. The 10" hold-down post gives you 8" of clamping capacity, matching the 8" throat capacity.
