By Chris Gochnour Jan 01, 2005 The Veritas tool rest has a platform, a pair of slotted arms, and a base, all made of anodized aluminum. The base is bolted to the worksurface. The slotted attachment holes allow some side-to-side alignment. Adjustable handles made it relatively easy to lock the 2 5/8-in. by 4-in. platform in place.
