The HDS - Hold Down System - "Lite" is a portable workbench that can be dropped into place on almost any flat surface.
Once in situ, this temporary bench top provides a clamping solution to individuals who do not have access to a fixed workstation with a vice or other material holding facilities.
Using a combination of slots and dog holes, the HDS Lite allows you to introduce both clamps and bench dogs in order to clamp material in place.
Whether you are seasoned furniture maker, an on-site carpenter or a weekend hobbiest, the HDS Lite will open up all sorts of ways of working that were not there before.
The system is constructed out of two sturdy 25mm hardwood boards that can be flat packed after use for easy storage or simply sit it on its side at the end of your bench.
Assembling for use is simple with just 4 bolts to secure and your HDS system and can be ready in under a minute.
When assembled the system measures approx 576mm wide x 480mm deep with a 288mm overhang.
The Lite versions possess all the same great features and benefits as the full HDS Hold Down System, however utilises the front to back slots only in its design. When working with the system long term, it was found that most of the clamping was being achieved via the dog holes and the front to back slots.
In light of these findings the Lite system was created.
