This quick-adjust vertical surface hold down clamp allows you to secure work tightly to your workbench anywhere you can drill 3/4 inch dog holes.

The post has machined serrations along its length so when the handle is turned and pressure applied, the post wedges tightly in a dog hole and will not slip.

This clamp will only work with stock up to 7-1/2inch thick.
