Short Bench Dogs

If you have ever wanted to securely hold a piece of stock flat on top of a workbench but you didn't have a bench dog, then you know how frustrating it can be to keep that stock piece in place. Bench dogs serve as a fixing point for your stock that is to be worked. For example, most bench dogs are designed to be used in conjunction with workbench tail vise, with one dog set into a hole in the vise and the other dog set into a hole on the workbench. The vise is then tightened to secure your workpiece in place for sanding, planing and some routing applications. Bench dogs can also be used individually for planing purposes since the planer is always cutting in the same direction.

Features:

• 3/4" in diameter (a standard workbench hole size)
• 2-3/8" long
• Steel spring clip on the side that provides a pressure fit allowing it to be raised and lowered as needed
• The short 2-3/8" length is for the purpose of workbenches that are not overly thick.
• The 2-3/8" length is ideal for workbenches that are 2" thick (measure actual workbench hole depth) or less.
• Made from solid aluminum with a negative sloped, crosshatched face that helps hold the stock when working.
• Designed to be used with 3/4" stock or thicker.

Round Bench Dogs Will Rotate as Needed for Curved Stock Pieces

The bench dogs are round which means they will rotate as needed for curved stock pieces. This gives you and advantage over square dogs that only work with flat or square stock. The bench dogs are 3/4" in diameter (a standard workbench hole size) and 2-3/8" long with a steel spring clip on the side that provides the dog with a pressure fit allowing it to be raised and lowered as needed.

Ideal for Workbenches that are 2" Thick

The short 2-3/8" length is for the purpose of workbenches that are not overly thick. Longer bench dogs tend to fall out of bench tops that are not thick. The 2-3/8" length is ideal for workbenches that are 2" thick (measure actual workbench hole depth) or less.

Solid Aluminum Construction

Made from solid aluminum with a negative sloped, crosshatched face that helps hold the stock when working. Designed to be used with 3/4" stock or thicker. Typically bench dogs are used in sets of four but two may suffice for some applications.
