The Grade B versions are what we would call "Rough Round the Edges". These systems possess all the same great features and benefits as the finished option — just without the smooth edges. The system may have picked up some cosmetic damage, small surface imperfections, minor repairs, or some machining marks. Nothing that will interfere with how the HDS operates; it's just not as pretty as it could be.
Bit like picking up that cute cross-breed puppy from the animal shelter — it might not be a pedigree, but you won't love it any less...
Built on the proven HDS Hold Down System, the Grade B Portable Workbench uses the same combination of precision dog holes and clamping slots that turns any flat surface into a professional-grade woodworking station in under 60 seconds.
Designed and CNC-machined in the UK, it features a 20mm dog hole grid, integrated clamping slots, and a 288mm front overhang for secure vertical clamping. Whether you're planing, sawing, routing, or cutting dovetails, it delivers reliable workholding without the bulk or cost of a full MFT table.

About The Currently Available Unit - Please Read!
This particular Grade B unit is an original plywood based standard system (didn't start out as Grade B) which was my x-display unit I then used daily in my workshop. It has more cosmetic staining than physical imperfections. All functional elements are fully intact and ready to use.
