Key Features
Overview
Kreg KKS1070 Bench Dogs are a set of four bench dogs designed to support and position workpieces on a workbench. This is a bench dog accessory designed for routing, cutting, and sanding support. Model Number: KKS1070. If you already work off a bench with 3/4 inch dog holes, this is a simple upgrade that makes holding panels and boards quicker and more predictable.
The main job here is straightforward: create a dependable stop point and, with the included Bench Brakes, add a non-slip surface that helps keep material from creeping around while you work. That matters most on tasks like routing panel edges, sanding faces, or trimming stock where even a little movement can mess with accuracy or force you to stop and reset. The squared clamping pad gives the workpiece a flat, stable reference instead of a small round contact point.
Kreg builds these from reinforced nylon, which is a smart choice for this kind of accessory. It is tough enough for regular bench use, but it is still easier on finished or semi-finished stock than a metal contact point. The rubber Bench Brake on top adds grip where you want it, especially when you are working on sheet goods, hardwood panels, or smaller parts that tend to slide across the bench.
Another practical detail is flexibility. You can place these in a standard 3/4 inch bench dog hole, and the product information also notes that they can be placed directly in the bench depending on your setup. That gives you options for creating stops, support points, or a quick non-slip work surface without turning your bench into a complicated clamping station.
For shop workflow, these are the kind of accessories that save time because they reduce the amount of repositioning and re-clamping needed for light to medium bench tasks. They are not trying to replace a vise or a heavy-duty clamp. They are there to keep work stable, square up your setup, and make repetitive bench work go smoother.
These bench dogs make the most sense for woodworkers, cabinet installers, trim carpenters, and serious DIY users who already use a bench with dog holes and want better control during hand work or light power tool work. If your projects include sanding parts flat, routing edges, or holding panels in place while you mark, trim, or clean up edges, this accessory earns its keep fast.
Keep Panels From Walking Across the Bench
When you are working with panels or wide stock, a simple stop can make the whole setup feel more controlled. These bench dogs give the edge of the material a stable reference so the work stays where you put it.
- Fits standard 3/4 inch bench dog holes
- Bench Brakes create a solid, non-slip work surface
Better Support for Hand Work and Edge Cleanup
For scraping, trimming, or light fitting work, you do not always need a clamp in the way. The squared pad gives the board a positive stop, so you can work the face or edge without the piece shifting around.
- Squared clamping pad helps create a secure hold
- Reinforced nylon body is durable and easier on work surfaces than metal stops
Useful for Routing and Bench-Top Cutting Tasks
Routing and light cutting setups go faster when the work has a repeatable reference point. These accessories let you set material against the dogs, keep it planted, and focus on the cut instead of chasing the panel.
- Great for routing, cutting, and sanding
- Each set includes four bench dogs for flexible positioning
