My supplier is quoting over 3x more for the black one than regular one. Other than that, same exact product afaik. At which point, I can get plywood instead.
I've used the long Wnew dowel jig for dog holes. Drilled 8mm holes for references 96mm apart with jig along left side of MFT. From there took a piece of plywood & drilled 5 x 8mm holes similarly in 2 rows (to check accuracy), attached router centered on hole in middle right row, stuck 8mm pins in left row, always have 3 pins minimum then for ref, & used 20mm to cut in dog holes along 2nd row. Then replaced pins with threaded dogs & cut the rest at 20mm. Checked as I went & all lined up near enough perfect to not have any issues. 2nd time round I picked up a Bosch FN RA 32 1200 second hand for €40 & got the Bosch pin fitting & slide for €40 new, used an alu plate & some plywood to attach to Makita router & saved a load of time. To make accurate dog holes doesn't require these more expensive jigs - if you have a bit of creativity & time to spare.
Nice list, you never go wrong with BenchDog tools. Raising your board or using a t-track on a MFT is missing one of it's BEST feature. No tear out on bottom 😱
I don't quite understand - don't you put a sacrificial piece under your workpiece to prevent tearout? Would an empty space like the one in the t-track not increase tearout and also worsen dust extraction of the plunge saw?
Another great video!! It has me thinking, inserts that slide into the T track! Then, you regain the clean cut on the underside of the work peace. Overall, the T track insert is a great idea as it saves the nice bench top from needing replacement. I am on my third bench, designed with an aluminium frame to fit on high-end saw horses. It all fits in the back of my estate. Un like MFT, it is bigger and very strong. The top is in four sections being joined using the UJK fence with dogs. This makes the top go together the same every time. It's all great kit. Bedankt.
Kind Sir Dennis...I just bought a kit by UJK Parf Mark II Guide System. And I love it. Recuse Peter Parfitt had a hand in that awesome item. And, they are very accurate. Really. Thank you Sir for showing it to us.
There’s so many amazing tools and jigs on the market but if it’s possible to make I’ll give it a go I love the challenge and the joy it brings if it works out and of course it’s cheaper on the pocket
I’ve been watching you for years and it’s great to see your success growing, your videos are Informing and entertaining to watch, thanks for the content
I love your stuff. It's so precision orientated. Id I buy your work benh plan does it over both the saw area and the the use of a router table? I have quite a small basement so the best I could get would be a portable table saw to use. I think a track saw is a far better option apart from ploughing. in which case I'd use a router.
I love the video, and your channel is great. Do you have a build video for the height adjustable mobile bench?. I see you working on? I love the onboard storage for the dog hole accessories
Thank you for some great videos! I'm thinking of adding benchdog holes to my existing work top in order to help squaring up my track saw, but I see there seem to be 2 sizes - 20mm and 3/4 inch. Does it matter which size I use, as far as accessory availability or any other reason? I'm in the US, if that makes a difference.
I have the Incra fence plate and love it! However, the rail square seems to be off by about 1mm from top to bottom on my cuts no matter what I try when I used it alone on cuts 300 to 450 mm or so. Perhaps I am expecting too much precision? All of the other Bench Dogs products I have I like. Same with UJK. Both make great tools and ship to Canada which is awesome!
Hey Hookedonwood, me and my father are two big fans of yours. We are almost done realizing the routing table from the China Tools you suggested and it's turning out great. We would really like to know what finish you use on black mdf in order to obtain such a beautiful look on your work benches! Thank you for the videos
Hey Dennis, I really appreciate your reviews. I was wondering if you've had a chance to review the GoHelper Square Ruler, it seems like it has more features than a woodpecker equivalent, and their quick square is great, too if 731's review was accurate.
Recently found your channel - liked and subscribed - I have a Woodpecker's "Track clamp bench top" replacement top for my MFT. I like the added ability to use the clamps in the slots with more flexibility. LOTS of t-track slots in a grid pattern, in addition to the 20mm hole patterns. They recommend using one of the T-slots as a cut slot for track saw cutting, and I see that you also recommend that on your table. Does it add much to fill the t-slot with something to support the underside of the cut, or does it make a difference? If so, what would your recommend to fill the slot? Thanks - from Los Angeles!
Theoretical it should not make a difference because of the direction of the blade. The splinters will come at the top, when they exist. But I think it will give a slightly cleaner cut that can make a difference with cross cuts. Another benefit can be for better dust control. Because of the gab at the underside, dust will fly under your workpiece through the rail as well. When you block this, it is force to go up into the dust extraction from your plunge saw. Hope that help! Dennis
@@HookedonWood Hadn't thought of the dust control aspect - that's important. I can just cut some MDF strips to fit in the slot I guess. Thanks for the response and for the informative channel!
Hi Dennis, ik start een nieuwe hobby en heb als eerste projectje een MFT werkbank gemaakt. Heel veel inspiratie opgedaan via jouw videos! Vraagje: krijg je geen "tear-out" van je plaatmateriaal als je zaagt boven zo'n t-profiel? Dank en keep it up!
I had a question. There’s always the debate between bench dogs and microjig. I’ve heard your thoughts about hang ups in cords and screws falling in the gaps. Have you considered building a top that has microjig on one end and bench dogs on the other side to make a hybrid in one table? I know some have done both in one bit I don’t think I’ve seen a split in one table. Could be interesting to save even more space.
I do not like an microjig top for the reasons you subscribe. I can do everything with the dog holes as well so I do not see the benefits of having a hybrid version that outweighs the disadvantage of the grooves.
thanks for the reply. Ill be building my table soon so ive been watching all your videos over an over again. love your design. only other person with a great concept is a guy on youtube by the name of pason woodworking. @@HookedonWood
Just thinking you could make an MDF say 2' x 2' piece with Microjig cross pattern grooves that you can fasten to the workbench with bench dogs and then use this for more flexible clamping when needed.
@@half_a_bubble_offyah I suppose you’re right. I still have a ways to go before I get there so I love all the ideas for when it’s time. Currently doing insulation in ceiling , new table saw, French clear wall, new electrical… pretty much whole new shop lol. Then comes the workbench.
Dat ga ik wel een keer doen, maar ik moet een nieuwe maken omdat deze niet volledig vlak is. Ik ga er een maken met een torsie box en verder nog wat aanpassingen van zaken die ik nu mis. Van die uitvoering ga ik een video maken.

The bench dog rail square is not the best solution out there, by pushing outwards on the Alu with the the “convenient” clamping mechanism, this pushes the Alu, outward, the rails are design to have straight integrity with the outer edge *the rectification edge* that forms the extruded Alu “U” on the top, the clamps byte into the end of the rail, not only taking of square, but messing the end of the rail. Good luck with that!
Why should you damage the rail when clamping these rail squares? That is completely not necessary. I even think you will have a hard time trying it on purpose. The clamps touch the rail right on the edge at the underside of the "U," so it seems to me almost impossible.
@@HookedonWood have a look at the NEW TSO GRS-16 PE v2 and see what I mean, gave them a buch of feedback on this feature. 😉Look at the contact with the outer edge of the track *opposite of the cutting edge, which is where the QA test the rails to conformity of the design (strait ness as the fronde of extrusion is around the outer end the the guide part of the extrusion). otherwise as I mentioned before, you are clapping into the rail, that is, there is a force exerted from the inner T-track inward from the edge of the rail (pushing in ) from the cam clamps and cams are just a force element, hence my comments. I don’t disagree that why are build nicely, they will however not perform on par with the TSO/Festool ones, and they are prone to damaging the rail, In my humbled opinion and experience with them. Cheers!
