Clamping workpieces to hold them in place is an essential part of woodworking, both for safety and for efficiency. Bench dogs and the workbench’s vice are commonly used for this clamping. But that system is limited, as pressure can only be applied from the direction of the vice.

Our new type of bench dog clamps adds considerable versatility to workpiece clamping onto any workbench with ¾” (19 or 20mm) round bench dog holes. The kit comes with two fixed bench dogs and two adjustable ones, which provide clamping pressure anywhere from 1 ¾” up to 5 ½” from the dog hole edge. Integral toggle clamps in the adjustable bench dogs allow holding pressure to be applied to the workpiece. All four bench dogs can be used alone or with threaded knobs from the underside of the bench for added security.

Features & Benefits

  • Adjustable bench dogs allow for a wide range of clamping options.
  • All four bench dogs have a ¾” x 1 7/8” rubber face for secure holding.
  • Adjustable clamps can hold anywhere from 1 ¾” up to 5 ½” form the dog hole.
  • Adjustable clamps have toggle latches, allowing you to apply lateral pressure to the workpiece, holding it securely.
  • Four threaded knobs provided, which can be threaded through from the bottom of the bench, providing additional security.
  • Rugged steel and polymer construction, with brass threaded inserts.
  • Works extremely well for holding irregular shaped objects; something standard bench dogs don’t do well.
