Q: What can a miniature hold-down be used for?
The Veritas miniature hold-down secures small workpieces vertically at 1:3 scale, which suits tasks like cleaning up dovetails or chopping mortises where a full-size clamp would get in the way.
05P8653 - Veritas Miniature Hold-Down
This 1:3 scale miniature version of our hold-down can secure work vertically on small projects, such as when cleaning up dovetails or chopping mortises.
The low-profile 3” cast steel arm is unobstructed at the clamping end, allowing good access to work from all sides. Simply turn the brass knob to apply the desired amount of clamping force. The 3" post fits in a 17/64" dog hole and provides 1" of clamping capacity.
It can be used on its own to secure a workpiece on the Veritas Miniature Worksurface or used in combination with our other miniature workbench accessories.
The Veritas miniature hold-down secures small workpieces vertically at 1:3 scale, which suits tasks like cleaning up dovetails or chopping mortises where a full-size clamp would get in the way.
The 3" post is sized for a 17/64" dog hole, matching the spacing used across the Veritas miniature bench accessories.
Turning the brass knob lets you dial in exactly the pressure the workpiece needs, up to the tool's 1" clamping capacity.
The arm is cast steel, kept low-profile so the clamping end stays clear and accessible from every side of the work.
Not necessarily. It's built to 1:3 scale for small workpieces and miniature bench setups, so it's meant to complement rather than replace a full-size hold-down on regular-sized work.
