These work great in my simple workbench. They are thin, so they don't get in the way of sanding or planing.

How do bench dogs work?
A shopper on Sep 1, 2015
BEST ANSWER: I use the pictured bench dogs in a Stanley Workmate, with clamping work surfaces.
The bench dogs are inserted into holes in the Workmate surface. The work piece is placed between opposing bench dogs, bridging the opposing Workmate clamping surfaces. The Workmate surfaces are then tightened to hold the work piece in place, between the bench dogs.
How deep does the hole have to be?
Vinay K on Dec 23, 2015
BEST ANSWER: The length of the shaft on the bench dog is 1 1/2"

I have purchased many sets of these bench dogs and I use them all the time for holding my carving panels to the bench. It is great having such a low cost tool that helps my carving work so much.

While these dogs are a little loose in a 3/4 inch hole, they work great. I bought them to use on my bench, and also a B&D workmate. The fit the workmate just fine and are lower profile than the B&D dogs.

Bought these as I planned to add a vise to my bench. Drilled a series of test holes using both a 3/4 inch forstner bit and spade bit. In both cases and in all cases, I found the holes to be a bit large for the bench dogs.

Recently, I made a workbench with 3/4 in holes for dogs. I expected to use some similar dogs from a workmate, but they need a slightly larger hole. These are similar but fit in the 3/4 in holes, including some shallow ones in my Veritas vise face. Work just great for holding most wood.

Bought these dogs about a year ago when I built my assembly table/workbench. I drilled a series of 3/4" holes using a spade bit and these fit perfectly. Like the fact they are low profile and out of the way when planing or sanding. I read one review that they worried about putting much pressure for fear of shearing them off but I have never had that as an issue. As long as they are flat to surface of the workbench you can put as much pressure as necessary to hold the project securely and they will work fine. For me these work as well as the metal dogs for a fraction of the cost.

My bench looks like it has been attacked by woodpeckers. Holes everywhere, but just where I need them. It makes every job a lot easer and safer.
