Carver's Bench

Introduction

The Veritas

Carver’s Bench has been designed to allow you to quickly and easily position any workpiece in the orientation

that best suits the work you are doing. The 24

square work surface can be tilted up to 90º, and rotated through a full 360º. The

mechanism is spring loaded to counteract the weight of the work surface and support structure, allowing the workpiece to be
moved effortlessly.
