Bench Dogs provide a time-tested way of keeping stock from sliding across the workbench while sanding or planing. Ours feature a side spring that allows you to easily adjust the height of the dog—lower for thinner stock and higher for thicker stock. This version is 4-3/8'' long, with a flat section that is 1-3/16'' high—great for use in thick workbenches. You can use them alone as planing stops, or with an end vise or front vise to securely clamp your work to the bench. Made from anodized aluminum. Fits into 3/4'' diameter dog holes.
