READMEI have created this set with dogs of 20.0mm, 19.9mm, about 3/4'' (19.0mm) and slightly less than 3/4'' (18.9mm) diameter. Just check my uploads and find the set you'll is the 20.0mm set for 20mm dogholes. If you need any other types of bench dogs / stops / clamps, need some different dimeio, have some neat ideas or the like then drop a comment and I'll see what can be done. Project BackgroundA while ago I made a super nice mobile work bench heavily ipired by the Stanton Bench which is in turn ipired by the Festool MFT system. It's basically a 18mm / 3/4'' thick top with a bunch of 20mm holes in a 96mm pattern which a variety of tools and attachments can be used with to attack / secure pretty much anything to safely work with. A major part of this system are bench dogs, and as the metal ones can be quite expeive and you don't necessarily need that much strength in most tasks I figured I'd design and print a set. Same goes for a variety of additional accessories which seemed useful or neat to have. An added bonus is that if you slip with whatever power tool you're working and hit the bench dogs, the plastic probably won't damage your tool unlike metal bench accessories would. Project ContentsGeneral Informatioo far this set includes regular bench dogs, stop dogs with a flat side, corner dogs with a 90° open corner, angle dogs with a 90° top angle, flat stops, corner stops, repeat stops, planing stops and a cam clamp. There's veio of almost all of these with or without M6 throughholes for permanent fixture (or for attaching other stuff on top or something) and veio with straight walls or a 5° tilt to press the workpiece down towards the workbench. Often there's variatio in some dimeio, too. If there aren't and you need some, drop me a comment and I should be able to provide it. I've printed a bunch of them and so far they've been holding up rather well. In fact I most often just grab these itead of my actual metal bench dogs unless I really need the sturdiness or precision that my metal ones offer. Parts / File Overview
Standard Dogs
Filename:StandardDog[OptionalModifier]_Height_[OptionalTaper].stl 25mm diameter top Various heights available Available as solid dogs, with a throughhole for M6 screws, and / or with a 5 degree taper
Stop Dogs
Filename:StopDog[OptionalModifier]_Height_[OptionalTaper].stl 25mm diameter top with one flat side Various heights available Available as solid dogs, with a throughhole for M6 screws, and / or with a 5 degree taper
Polygonal Stop Dogs
Filename:PolygonalStopDog_MinimumToMaximumExteion_Height_[OptionalTaper].stl 5-sided asymetrical stop dog with each numbered side increasing in 5mm increments Designed to work well with Cam Clamp and Pressure Pad
Corner Dogs
Filename:CornerDog[OptionalModifier]_OpeningAngle_Height_[OptionalTaper].stl Rounded part has a 25mm diameter Comes with an opening of a given angle to hold corne of pieces Available as solid dogs, with a throughhole for M6 screws, and / or with a 5 degree taper Angle Dogs Filename:AngleDog[OptionalModifier]_TopOpeningAngle_widthXdepthXheight.stl or AngleDogTop[OptionalModifier]_TopOpeningAngle_widthXdepthXheight.stl Dog with an angled opening on the top to hold square, rectangular or round stock for cutting, drilling and planing (potentially using a clamp from the top) For better support at the end (e.g. towards Stop Dogs, Planing Stops, ...) or for clamping a file without the peg is provided, named AngleDogTop[...].stl Various sizes available
(Double) Straight and Corner Stops
Filename:StraightStop_Height.stl or DoubleStraightStop_Height.stl or Cornetop_Height.stl or DoubleCornetop_Height.stl 25mm diameter top Straight or 90 degree corner stops, e.g. to clamp workpieces agait Regular stops span two holes, double stops span over three holes in the 96x96mm grid pattern Requires very accurate 96x96mm doghole pattern or it won't fit
Planing Stop
Filename: and PlaningStopRail_widthXheightXlength.stl Coists of special dogs with a dovetail fit to rails of various lengths Rails have one 90 degree side and one 85 degree side (5 degree taper) Low height planing stops are especially well-suited for planing thinner stock Due to sliding rail it's well-suited to setups diverging from 96x96mm doghole pattern (or for inaccurate ones) and can also be positioned in various angles, most notably 45 degrees by using diagonal holes
Repeat Stop
Filename:RepeatStopFixingPost_Height_RodDiameter.stl and RepeatStopPlate_widthXheightXdepth.stl Requires 12X250mm rod (metal / plastic / wood), 2x M4x10x6 threaded brass iert, 2x M4x20 thumbscrew and 1x M4x20 screw (preferably cylinder head, though counteunk works, too) Coists of two special dogs with 25mm diameter tops which have holes for a 12x250mm rod to go through, as well as an opening for an M4x10x6 threaded brass iert for use with an M4 thumbscrew to secure the rod in place and a stop plate agait which your workpiece can be pressed agait Rod can be made from metal, wood or plastic. I used a 12x250mm aluminium rod which I threaded and tapped for an M4x20 screw 6mm from one end of the rod to attach the stop plate. If wood or plastic is used you can directly drive a screw into the rod, or you can just glue it in place if you don't need to be able to change the stop plate.
Cam Clamp
Filenames:CamClamp_Height_MinimumToMaximumExteion_[OptionalTaper].stlCamClampPressurePad_Height_[OptionalTaper].stl (Relatively) Low-height lever to fix your workpieces in place Using the Pressure Pad makes the Cam Clamp work even better Works well with Polygonal Stop Dogs (can clamp to 0mm)
Standoff Cookie
Filenames:StandoffCookie_diameterXheight.stlStandoffCookie_diameterXheight_AntiSlipCuttingTemplate.stl Modified bench cookies Use self-adhesive EPDM foam for anti-slip properties (works great, I recommend using 1-3mm thick EPDM foam) Can be used simply for anti-slip purposes, lifting the workpiece from the work surface to not cut into the work surface and more Have a 25mm diameter recess to fit over Standard Dogs (with / without throughhole) so you can raise workpieces even higher to e.g. use a jigsaw, or to absolutely prevent any lateral movement
Thumbscrews
Filename:ThumbscrewM6[TYPE]_[ContactSurfaceDiameter].stl For securing various throughhole dogs or other components with M6 screws Nut types to fit an M6 nut Bolt types to fit an M6 bolt NutBoltHybrid can be used either way ContactSurfaceDiameter described the diameter of the surface which will press agait the work surface around the dog hole. Frankly, bigger is better so the 34mm NutBoltHybrid is probably the best choice If the nut is to be permanently secured, the NutPlug can be glued in after ierting the nut
Bench Legs
Filenames:BenchLeg_height.stlBenchLegExteion_height.stlBenchLeg_AntiSlipCuttingTemplate.stl If a Stanton Bench, Multi Function Slab or similar style of work surface is being used, the bench legs offer a convienient way to place the work surface on the ground or another table Use self-adhesive EPDM foam for anti-slip properties (works great, I recommend using 1-3mm thick EPDM foam)
