Versatile, Custom-Made Bench Dogs for All Your Projects

Bench Dogs are customizable pegs for workbenches, offering stability and precision in woodworking tasks. Made from durable materials, they're compatible with systems like Dash-Board & Festool MFT, enhancing workbench efficiency.

Ah, the workbench - the heart of any workshop. But a workbench alone doesn't guarantee efficiency. Have you ever thought about what makes a workbench versatile? The answer: Bench Dogs. And not just any bench dogs, but ones specifically tailored to your needs.

What are Bench Dogs?

The Basics

Bench dogs are pegs that fit into holes on your workbench, serving as anchors for your projects. They ensure that your workpiece doesn't move around when you're working on it. Sounds simple, right? But the real magic is in the details.

Benefits of Using Bench Dogs

Ever tried sawing or planning a piece of wood that keeps shifting? It's frustrating! Bench dogs help you:

  1. Keep your workpiece steady.
  2. Protect your hands and fingers.
  3. Achieve precise cuts and finishes.
  4. Save time by reducing the need for readjustments.

Features of 20mm Bench Dogs

Custom-made to perfection, our 20mm Bench Dogs are crafted with the user in mind.

Variety in Size

Choose from three distinct sizes:

  • 1" (26mm) - Ideal for thicker projects.
  • 1/2" (12mm) - Great for medium-thickness materials.
  • 3/16" (4.76mm) - Perfect for those finer, delicate tasks.

Material & Durability

Made from acetal/Delrin, these Bench Dogs are not only sturdy but also long-lasting. This material is known for its excellent strength and resistance to wear, ensuring that they'll serve you for years to come.

Design and Ergonomics

With bevels on the top and bottom, handling them becomes a breeze. The taller variants even sport a special groove to provide an ergonomic grip, ensuring minimal strain on your hands.

Compatibility with Festool MFT & Dash-Board®

If you're a fan of the Festool MFT or Dash-Board, good news! These Bench Dogs are designed to be fully compatible with their 20mm dog holes. A match made in woodworking heaven!

How to Use Bench Dogs Effectively

Setup & Positioning

  1. Identify the size of the Bench Dog you need.
  2. Insert them into the 20mm holes on your workbench.
  3. Position your workpiece against the Bench Dogs.
  4. Start your work, confident that your piece will stay put.
