HDS Anti Slip Rubber Plugs (Pack of Four)

Secure your HDS Hold Down System in place with these rubber anti-slip plugs that insert into your workbench to prevent movement during heavy operations.

A non-permanent solution that provides excellent stability without requiring threaded holes in your bench.


Key Features:

  • Prevents Movement - Stops HDS from sliding during heavy operations
  • Rubber Construction - Grips both the HDS and your bench surface
  • Non-Permanent - Insert when needed, remove when done
  • No Threading Required - Simple holes in your bench, no tapping needed
  • Pack of Four - Enough for complete stabilization

Why Choose Rubber Plugs?

Rubber plugs offer a middle ground between self-adhesive pads and threaded plastic plugs:

  • More secure than adhesive pads
  • Easier to install than threaded plugs (no tapping required)
  • Removable for full portability
  • Excellent grip on both HDS and bench

How to Use:

Drill simple holes in your workbench at the appropriate positions to match the HDS mounting points. Insert the rubber plugs through the HDS base into these holes. The rubber expands slightly to grip both the HDS and the bench, preventing movement.

Remove the plugs when you're done to restore full portability.


Perfect For:

  • Heavy hand planing operations
  • Power tool work requiring stability
  • Working on smooth bench surfaces
  • Anyone who wants removable stability
  • Workshops with dedicated HDS positions

When Do You Need Anti-Slip Plugs?

While the HDS is stable for most operations, certain heavy-duty tasks can cause movement:

  • Heavy hand planing with significant force
  • Aggressive routing or power tool operations
  • Working on very smooth bench tops
  • Any operation where maximum stability is critical

Compatibility:

Designed for the HDS Hold Down System and HDS Lite. Requires simple drilled holes in your workbench (no threading/tapping needed).


Installation Requirements:

You'll need to drill holes in your workbench at the appropriate positions to match the HDS mounting points. This is a one-time setup that's much simpler than tapping threaded holes.


Specifications:

  • Material: Rubber
  • Quantity: 4 plugs per pack
  • Installation: Requires drilled holes (no threading)
  • Compatible with: HDS Hold Down System, HDS Lite

Alternative Options:

If you don't want to drill into your bench at all, check out our Anti-Slip Rubber Self-Adhesive Pads for a completely non-permanent solution. For maximum security with threaded installation, see our Anti-Slip Plastic M6 Plugs.
