If you want to build something beautiful, you don’t need a bench. All you need to do is grab a circular or plunge saw and get to work, using this Veritas Panel Platform Kit to assemble a flat, stable platform, with sacrificial cross-rail supports that let you rip or crosscut material without worrying about your blade contacting the surface beneath. You can work with confidence on any flat surface, indoors or out. Assembled using standard lumber you supply, the kit includes 12 resilient polypropylene brackets that are screwed to a pair of 1x3s to create a platform base. Six 1x3s clip into the mounted brackets to serve as the sacrificial cross-rails. It’s that simple. The assembled platform can be used over and over again to make hundreds of cuts with ease, speed and accuracy. When you’re done cutting, the kit breaks down quickly and fits neatly into the 4' nylon bag.
