Hey Randy, hey Bob, hey all,

On my [Veritas Worksurface](http://www.veritastools.com/Products/Page.aspx?p=732), since many years I use these [Veritas® Bench Blades](http://www.veritastools.com/Products/Page.aspx?p=513) **entirely made of steel** (cast & turned) which are available **[here with either 3/4″ (19.05 mm) or 20 mm post](https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/workshop/workbenches/benchtop-accessories/64685-veritas-bench-blade)**, and a [1/4-20 T-Bolt](http://www.veritastools.com/Products/Page.aspx?p=739) version is also available.

They do not lift the workpiece, their jaw face has 5° inward cant. Their jaw projects 1/4″ (6.35 mm) above work surface.

Also there is a version with a Wedge-lock post that anchors firmly in a through-hole in material as thin as 5/8″ (15.9 mm) (depending on the strength of the material) or in a blind hole that is a minimum of 1 3/8″ deep (38.1 mm).
