Deluxe Low-Profile Bench Dog & Brake System (71188)
Turn Your Workbench into a Precision Clamping Station
The POWERTEC 71188 is a deluxe 4-piece set of high-utility bench dogs, specifically engineered to provide an aggressive yet non-marring hold on your woodworking projects. Designed to fit standard 3/4-inch (19mm) dog holes, these stops feature a unique low-profile design that ensures your workpiece remains immobile during heavy routing, hand-planing, or sanding, while staying below the path of your tools. This all-in-one kit includes removable EVA rubber bench brakes, which transform the dogs into high-friction islands, allowing you to secure workpieces without using any traditional clamps at all.
Crafted from premium reinforced nylon, these dogs are built for workshop durability. Each dog features a dual-face geometry: a squared side for standard stock and a curved side for irregular or round workpieces. Additionally, each dog includes two integrated 3/16" holes, allowing you to insert dowels to create "Painter's Points," elevating your work for 360-degree finishing. Whether you are a professional luthier or a home furniture builder, the 71188 set provides the versatility and surgical accuracy your craft demands.
- High-Friction EVA Brakes: Anti-slip inserts provide a rock-solid grip for sanding and routing without mechanical clamps.
- Non-Marring Nylon: Durable body construction ensures your finished wood surfaces stay free of metal indentations.
- Low-Profile Clearance: Only sits 19/32" above the bench—perfect for thin stock (5/8" or more).
- Dual-Geometry Faces: Features both flat and curved clamping surfaces for regular and irregular stock.
- Painter's Point Ready: Integrated 3/16" holes allow for dowel insertion to elevate boards for staining.
