Bench Dog System

Do you have picture of the cramp before you installed it. Just curious as I haven’t seen one like it before a was wondering what it’s for, is it a floorboard cramp?

I don’t have the left side.

Car, car park, night and camera, seems that's the total compliment of equipment needed

Not quite - unless I’ve misunderstood the essence of dogging.

Cramps and dogging seem to go hand in hand

Some ideas here?



I think maybe the thread needs a fixed track to run in, so the dog can't wander about. Possibly. I'm not an expert.

I think the female part of the clamp needs drilling out and lock nut fixing on bench side so threaded stud spins freely, then the dog (or a carrier for a loose dog) should be tapped right through . Here's a Benchcrafted tail vice being fitted, about 10 mins in to video - (208) Building A Roubo Work Bench Out Of Southern Yellow Pine (Part 1) - YouTube

I think you are right in principle, but I don’t want to butcher that clamp. I may have a rethink.
