We’ve provided several answers to questions related to Bench Dogs , see some other helpful Q&A related to this product.
Question: Do I need different dogs for thick vs. thin workpieces?
Answer: Small Dogs with their 18mm protrusion handle most positioning tasks, but Large Dogs (30mm protrusion) work better for thicker workpieces or if you’re frequently stacking/batching your cuts.
Question: What's the main reason to choose Smart Connect Dogs?
Answer: Smart Connect Dogs are specifically designed for joining two layers of material, typically two 15mm plywood panels to create a thicker worktop. The chamfered lip sits flush while the 28mm protrusion provides the perfect connection depth.
Question: How do Power-Loc Dogs work differently from other bench dogs?
Answer: Power-Loc Dogs feature an integrated cam-action locking mechanism that operates entirely from above your work surface. Instead of reaching underneath to tighten clamps or knobs, you simply rotate the locking lug using an M5 Hex Driver for secure fixturing—much faster for repeated setups.
Question: Which bench dog should I choose for guide rail work?
Answer: For guide rail mounting, it’s hard to beat the cost-effectiveness of a pair of Tall Dogs along with UJK Dog Rail Clips. For dogs that will keep your guide rail elevated between cuts (making it easy to slide in/out workpieces), check out the UJK Adjustable Height Guide Rail Dogs.
Question: Can I use TSO bench dogs with my existing workbench?
Answer: If your workbench has 20mm round holes, TSO bench dogs will work. Many woodworkers drill their own dog hole patterns using the Parf Guide System or other layout templates to add this functionality to traditional benches.
