The wider footprint disperses downward pressure to help prevent a thin-walled piece from collapsing. Thin, foam rubber backing grips the piece. There are no moving parts. A weighted string or fishing line can be looped through the center hole and pulled/hung to mark lines down the side of a piece, in lieu of a laser.

• Aids in trimming
• Works well with our StickyBat and StickyPads
• Division marks for quick reference for markings
BENEFITS:
• Provides wider area to disperses downward pressure
• Helps prevent a thin-walled piece from collapsing
