Something to get me started. I just finished making a bench and now have to place the dog holes, so I needed something so I could get going until I either buy more of these (which might be what I do) or end up making some.

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.
What material are these dogs made from? Metal? Plastic???
Brian H on Oct 4, 2016
BEST ANSWER: They are made from plastic.
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"
Will these fit my Sjoberg workbench?
tom h on Apr 4, 2018
BEST ANSWER: if your holes are 3/4" they will work.

Great for my old workmate.
I didn't know Rockler had these so I made some out of oak. They worked well but deteriorated by being used outside. The Rockler replacements are inexpensive and work very well.

Received these a couple of weeks...
Received these a couple of weeks ago and have used them several times. Great product for a great price. I love the low profile. I was concerned about the shearing issue that was related to us by one reviewer so I bought a second set as a spare. So far I have not had the shearing problem. In fact I am happy to report that I have deliberately tried to shear them without success! I am a REAL beginner less than a year so my bench top is 3/4" MDF with a 3/16" hard board overlay. I drilled my dog holes with a 3/4" forstner bit. The fit is about as perfect as you can get. Another reviewer said he used a spade bit for his holes. I tried that on a practice piece of MDF and found the fit to be a little loose.

Bought these dogs about a year...
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.

Just received these this week. Bought them for my new workbench and have already used them a number of times. Makes so many jobs easier, including glue-ups! They have worked great. "Thanks" Rockler.

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.

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.
