SOMETHING
Rout edges and get plenty of clearance. View larger.
Non-Marring Rubber Surface Securely Holds Workpieces
Each Bench Dog Bench Cookie is coated with a non-marring, bristly rubber pad. Similar to the material found on most router mats, these high-friction pads help grip projects firmly in place. For example, if you are planing a piece of wood, you can use Bench Cookies to create a balanced surface that won't slip.

These Bench Cookies have such a strong grip, in fact, they will securely hold a workpiece when you're sanding with a 60-grip belt. And because of their non-marring design, Bench Dog Bench Cookies won't leave behind unsightly marks like clamps often do.

Pads Provide Clearance for Routing and Finishing
In addition to holding your workpieces in place, Bench Cookies also work to elevate your projects. Measuring three inches in diameter and one inch in height, they give you extra vertical clearance and take up minimal surface area. They provide a hassle-free alternative to clamping and allow you to rout the edges of a workpiece with plenty of clearance to spare.

They also make finishing a piece much easier, as you are able to freely brush and varnish the edges of your wood without obstruction. For the best results, always use four bench cookies to elevate or stabilize your project.

About Bench Dog
Bench Dog began in 1995 with the simple concept that great tools are the result of smart design and solid engineering. Since then, Bench Dog has steadily grown, thanks to the recognition and enthusiasm of customers, trade publications, and the woodworking community at large.

Bench Dog offers a growing line of router tables, safety accessories, and tools for builders and do-it-yourselfers. Bench Dog products are used by woodworking professionals, intermediate hobbyists, schools, and serious beginners who are looking for tools of uncompromising quality and value.

What's in the Box
Four bench cookies.
