Q: How does this hold a form in place?
A bench pin drops through the workpiece or form into a bench dog hole, anchoring it without needing a separate bench dog or clamp.
05F1601 - Veritas Bench Pin
A necessity in steam bending where you have to hold forms in place, these are equally useful for general shop activities.
For some purposes, it is easier to drop a bench pin through something into a bench dog hole than to use a bench dog.
Pin is the same diameter as our bench dogs (.010" under 3/4"), 6" long and has an O-ring stop 1/2" from one end.
Zinc plated. Made in Canada.

Yes, it's sized .010" under 3/4" so it fits the same holes used for Veritas bench dogs.
An O-ring positioned 1/2" from one end catches on the surface of the workpiece, so the pin stays at a consistent depth.
No, while it's especially useful for holding steam-bending forms, it also works for general shop tasks that call for a quick, removable holding point.
