Veritas Wonder Dog
Wonder Dog® clamps? Well, you have to wonder why nobody thought of them before and then wonder if you can get along without them.
At the lowest projection, only 5/8 in. of the dog head is above the bench. The swivel handle lets you apply ample clamping pressure in any position. The dog is drilled and tapped at a 3° angle to ensure that work is held tight to the bench.
At 6-1/2" in.long, these dogs can be used anywhere you can drill a 3/4 in. hole.
Made in Canada. Patented.

Cutting square bench dog mortises is hard enough when you are building a bench; it is particularly difficult in a finished bench. Yet good dogs make a bench far more functional.
These bench dogs are made from solid brass rod and can be installed in any bench by drilling a 3/4in. hole. Brass dogs are not only non-corroding, but are kinder to your tools if you happen to slip and strike one with a sharp edge. The combined crosshatching and 2° inward slope of the dog face hold wood very securely. The side spring lets the dog slide smoothly, but holds it well at any desired projection.
The bench dogs (at 4-3/8 on.) are standard length. The Bench Pups® (at 2-3/8 in.) are fine for benches with tops up to 2" thick and are ideal for use in bench sides; just drill holes in the skirt or the edge of the top. Both work well with Wonder Dog® and Wonder Pup® clamps.
The set of Veritas pups is perfect for clamping on the front of any bench or table where you can drill 3/4 in. diameter holes. Includes one Bench Pup® and one Wonder Pup® clamp. |
