Benchdog Tools: British-Made Precision Woodworking and Carpentry Tools

I got the Mafell/Bosch version of these dogs to replace the old 'wiggle loose' style guide rail dogs I had from UJK (they are very similar to the mk1 bench dogs ones). These mk2 are such a step up! You can actually take your rail out without wanting to break it in halve :) I was thinking about getting a hinge for my rail, but with these much cheaper guide dogs, I don't really see any reason (yet).

After sending an email about sending them with cheaper regular mail to the Netherlands I actually got a reply that same Sunday evening, great service.

Hope to enjoy these for a long time.

So I bought myself a pair of reasonably priced Metabo work benches to use at home and on the go with limited space available but was missing a fence. After seeing and reading lots of reviews, I decided to purchase this Benchdog Tools fence systainer. Wow, this is a fantastic, superb quality engineered kit. I am sure this will serve me for many years to come, assembling and disassembling when needed with the systainer to keep every piece safe on the go or when stored. These guys (and gals?) design fantastic stuff you won't regret having bought. So yes, you guessed it right: very much recommended!

I bought this with the mft workstation, fence and some dogs. It is an amazing piece of kit. As a system, these individual elements work together to make accurate repeatable cuts without a table saw or mitre saw. Especially for sheet goods like i work with, it has really upped my game and enabled me to work quicker and more efficiently

Very well thought out table. Wife bought it as a gift. She gets all the points! Yes it's heavy, that's a big part of why it's good. Makes it very sturdy with zero wobble. Get wheels if you think you'll have trouble moving it about or need to transfer a long distance. Mine mostly stays in my workshop which is small enough need to be flexible space wise. This is ideal as it hangs flat on the wall when needed. I'll be adding another one along with the RH fence extension. An outrigger with a top that the router plate can mount in would be great. I might just make one :)

I love these Mft plugs. Over the years I had several plastic ones and for the most part they functioned ok but these transformed my work benches and made them masterpieces where I get so many compliments from everyone. This is my 4th order for these plugs as I keep replacing the plastic ones and so far I have purchased over 200 plugs. Just buy them and you won’t regret it.

I'm extremely happy with the sturdiness of this table. The fence with the bench dogs has made me eager to cut to dimension again. No more planning as a primary means of achieving precision in the end game. Repeatability is another area I can include in my projects and not worry about how much after work will be needed.

Thanks Benchdogs

Quality bit of kit! Came well packaged and when opened it didn’t disappoint. Felt ’solid’ in hand and on checking the angles were spot on. Looking forward to using it in my next project. I have bought from benchdogs previously and had the same experience. I recommend.

I ordered a custom top 1400mm x2107mm which I could’ve done from MDF with a lot of effort and time. I wanted the Benchdogs grid and the black Valchromat, which you cannot get here in the states. I needed custom holes to anchor the three sections to my rails and they were absolutely spot on. With the alignment jig, dominos and being made with precision from the start, all three panels have lined up perfectly across the 84in that I needed. It’s almost too nice to use as a workbench haha. I know it’ll last me an extremely long time and if I ever need to replace or make more work surfaces, I won’t hesitate to order again. Like everything I’ve got from Benchdogs, it’s perfect

Everything feels and looks great. No sharp edges; no cheap plastic parts. It's just fun to work with. I was a little disappointed that I can't attach my clamps directly to the legs. However, it is possible to insert screws into the grooves. The Fence System is brilliant and you can do more work in less time. The results are correspondingly more accurate and thanks to the support under the rail, this is also possible with quite small workpieces. The hinge system is of very high quality workmanship and absolutely precise. I use the Bosch version and am very satisfied. I am also very pleased that a manufacturer is not just thinking of Festool users here. When adjusting the height of the hinge system, you should ideally be able to walk around the table so that you can reach it easily. You also need to know that there is an elevation at the front of the table when the hinge system is installed. This gets in the way of other work. However, it is easy to remove the part. Thanks to the template supplied, re-installation is super quick. No annoying alignment necessary. 100% perfect results, every time without adjustment. Delivery to Germany was no problem. I received a link to pay the import duties by email and was able to pay with PayPal. The delivery was just like any other parcel. There were absolutely no problems. The packaging leaves nothing to chance.

UK, Europe, USA Woodworker know this is great tool and must have item.
Bench dog and fence and hinge system is well known in UK,EU,USA.
But Not Japanese Woodworker and YouTuber know and introduce "Benchdog Philosophy" at all.
I learned from Mr. Peter Millard UK, and many of USA and Canadian woodworking Youtuber.
And finally get this fence system, and much surprised of this Company Philosophy...and result in the Accuracy and repeatability!
I become the big "BENCHDOG TOOLS" fun now!
Now I ordered twice.
I trust BENCHDOG TOOLS's produt idea and quality and fast shipping!

Dear bench dog,
I have just received my 175mm carpenter square and I am really impressed with its accuracy, pins for forty five degree angle and its finish.
The packaging and delivery by royal mail to Melbourne Australia was exceptional.
Thank you and will be promoting your square at trade / technical college.
Regards
Mick

No regrets whatsoever, chosen this set up over festools MFT and couldn’t be happier!!! Absolute perfection!!

Loving this MFT table. It is solid and stable. Very well made and the packaging for shipping was also impressive.

This is a superb bench easy to set up and take down. Warning this bench is heavy . But the bench is supper solid and having all ajustable legs help level it up

I am so happy with my Benchdog workstation and extension. The design and quality is fabulous. It is so empowering to have this
huge multifunctional space. No more working on the floor!
