HDS Workbench Top – permanent bench top with dog holes and clamping slots, made in the UK

Introducing the HDS Workbench Top — A Permanent Bench Built on the HDS Hold Down System

After months of development, we're proud to launch the HDS Workbench Top — a permanent, professional-grade work surface built on the proven HDS Hold Down System.

What is the HDS Workbench Top?

The HDS Workbench Top is a fixed workshop bench top designed from the ground up around the HDS Hold Down System — the combination of precision dog holes and clamping slots that gives woodworkers unrivalled flexibility and control at the bench.

Two CNC-machined panels, each 600 x 600mm, join via a simple jigsaw-style joint to create a full 1200 x 600mm work surface — ready to accept the complete range of HDS accessories straight out of the box.

  • 1200 x 600mm total work surface
  • 25mm thick MDF — substantial and rigid
  • Dog holes and clamping slots throughout
  • Jigsaw-style centre joint for easy assembly
  • CNC machined for precision and consistency
  • Compatible with all HDS accessories — bench dogs, track clamps, vice clamps, and more
  • Designed for permanent workshop installation
  • Made in the UK
