$80 · Hold down bench clamping tool

This Veritas hold-down is in near new condition, in original box. 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. Clamping forces are infinitely variable by tightening the clamping knob (machined brass) to any degree. Note the seller is in Metchosin but can connect in Langford or Colwood
