Nearly every sawing and filing job at the bench happens over a pin, and this one clamps to the bench edge in seconds — no permanent fixing needed. The V-slot supports rings and small work from both sides while the saw blade works in the gap, and the hardwood soaks up vibration that would otherwise chatter through the piece.

A heavy-gauge steel C-clamp with a hook-shaped handle tightens by hand, so the pin goes on and comes off without tools. Two circular holes through the top surface add extra utility. At 8 inches it gives a full working platform; re-dress the wood as it wears in — a used pin is a personalised one.

  • Solid hardwood block with a V-slot to support rings and small pieces during sawing.
  • Heavy-gauge steel C-clamp secures the pin firmly to the edge of your workbench.
  • Large, hook-shaped handle on the clamp screw allows for quick, tool-free tightening.
  • The wood construction helps to dampen vibration whilst you work.
  • Features two circular holes drilled through the top surface for additional utility.

Common questions at the bench

How do I fit it?
Clamp it to the edge of a firm bench or table with its C-clamp, tightening the screw by hand until the pin cannot move. Check it is still tight before each session.
What is the V-slot for?
Sawing. Lay the work across the slot so it is supported on both sides, and saw in the gap with the blade upright and moving straight up and down. Hold the work down flat on the pin with your other hand.
Can I shape the pin?
Yes. Its description says to re-dress the wood as it wears in, and you can file or cut notches and slopes into the pin to suit the way you work.
How should I look after it?
Keep it dry and away from water and cleaning fluids, which can swell or mark the wood. Keep the clamp screw clean so it turns freely, and do not over-tighten it on a thin or soft bench top.
