Q: What do the saddles do?
They hold standard 2" dressed lumber on edge, giving you a fast, flexible way to create a sacrificial work stand-off for drilling, cutting or finishing.
Veritas 2 × 4 Platform Saddles

These innovative saddles have dozens of practical applications in the workshop or on a job site.
Used to hold standard 2" dressed lumber on edge, they make for a fast, flexible method of creating a sacrificial work stand-off for drilling, cutting or finishing. The removable posts have sprung wings to ensure a snug fit in both 3/4" and 20mm dog holes for bench use. With the posts removed, they can be surface mounted wherever you need them.
Supplied in sets of four, they are molded from resilient polypropylene that can stand up to plenty of hard use but won’t damage tool edges. While they are ideal for bench-top use, they can be creatively used to configure a stable work surface using materials at hand, whenever needed.
A smart, straightforward system that will change the way you work.
