OneTIME Tool - 2096 Workholding Kit - Retired July 3, 2017

Dogs For Every Job.  The kit comes with 24 dogs machined from solid aluminum. Each dog has a 20mm stem to insert into a hole. Above the stem are heads of varying thickness sized to use with common stock thicknesses. There are eight 1/8" thick for thin stock, and another four dogs are 3/8" thick for use with stock in the 1/2" range, four dogs .7" thick for 3/4" stock and four that project 2" above the bench top for use on work standing on edge.

The “trick” dogs feature a 1/2" head with a threaded stem and are used with the threaded 1/8" thick dogs. This combination provides variable height projection above the table surface, perfect for supporting overhangs like deep rabbets.

Phenolic Wedge Plates Provide Power Grip. The 2096 Workholding Kit comes with eight 1/4" thick solid phenolic plates in three different shapes. The 2" x 14" rectangular plates are used along the edge of stock. Two plates are wider, trapezoid shapes. These plates feature 20mm hole patterns. When used on an MFT table, the hole spacing provides an infinite variety of placements to accommodate different stock sizes and applications. Four additional trapezoid plates complete the wedge system. Use the plates with 20mm holes held firmly in place by the dog stems in the table holes, then drive the wedge shaped plates without holes to create the powerful wedge grip.

Applications? Let Me Count The Ways. Workholding is fixing an item in place so it can be worked on without it moving. As a woodworker, you’ve used clamps a million times for this purpose. But clamps have their limitations. Clamp jaws severely limit reach, you need the edge of a bench to clamp the work to, they take time to position, adjust and tighten, and they can get in the way of your work.

Workholding, in the broader sense, routinely overcomes these limitations and provides numerous options. You can hold round objects firmly. You can hold work flat or resting on edge for hand planning. When held, objects being power sanded can’t “walk” around. Workholding fixes parts during machining operations using a router, Festool Domino or drilling dowel holes. You can hold work while chopping mortises or carving. You can do all this and more at a convenient location on your MFT table or bench.

Get The Entire System In A Systainer Case! The 2096 Workholding Kit comes as a complete system. Your kit includes all 24 dogs and eight phenolic wedge plates. And you not only get the complete system, the kit will arrive in a protective Systainer-style case with custom cut foam interior to keep all the parts neatly organized.
