HDS Bench Dog Vice Clamp Aluminium Red (Pair) | Vertical Clamping

HDS Bench Dog Vice Clamp Aluminium Red — Sold as a Pair

Get twice the workholding power with this pair of HDS Bench Dog Vice Clamps — designed to work together for symmetrical clamping, wider workpieces, and more complex joinery setups. Precision-machined from aluminium and finished in anodised red, each clamp fits into the 20mm dog holes of your HDS Hold Down System.

Why Buy as a Pair?

• Symmetrical Clamping — Apply balanced pressure on both sides of a workpiece simultaneously
• Wider Boards & Panels — Secure larger stock without repositioning mid-operation
• Complex Joinery — Set up opposing pressure for dovetail, mortise, and tenon work
• Better Value — More economical than purchasing two singles separately

Key Features:

• Vertical Clamping — Unique design allows you to clamp material vertically against bench dogs
• Precision Machined — CNC machined from aluminium for accuracy and durability
• Anodised Red Finish — Durable, corrosion-resistant finish
• 20mm Diameter — Fits perfectly into HDS dog holes
• Adjustable Clamping Force — Control exactly how much pressure you apply

Why You Need Vice Clamps:

While bench dogs and track clamps are excellent for horizontal workholding, vice clamps open up new possibilities for vertical and angled clamping. This is essential for operations like:

• Edge planing and jointing
• Cutting dovetails and other joinery
• Sanding edges vertically
• Working on narrow or tall workpieces
• Securing awkward-shaped pieces

How to Use:

Insert one clamp into a dog hole on each side of your workpiece, position the material against one or more bench dogs, then tighten both clamps to secure. Using the pair together delivers balanced, wobble-free clamping across the full width of your workpiece — ideal for wider boards and symmetrical setups.

Combine with additional bench dogs for complex, multi-point clamping scenarios.

Perfect For:

• Edge planing and flattening
• Cutting dovetails and mortises
• Vertical sanding operations
• Securing narrow stock
• Advanced joinery work
• Professional furniture making

Compatibility:

Designed specifically for the HDS Hold Down System and HDS Lite. Fits into the precision 20mm dog holes positioned at 96mm intervals. Works best when combined with HDS bench dogs.

Important Note:

The machining tolerances are very tight for maximum accuracy, so your vice clamps will be a snug fit initially. This is intentional and ensures secure, wobble-free clamping. The fit will loosen slightly over time with use.

Pro Tips:

• Wax for Smooth Operation — Apply a wax-based product to the clamps for easier insertion and adjustment
• Don't Over-Tighten — Apply only the pressure needed to secure your workpiece
• Use Both Together — Position one clamp on each side for maximum stability and even pressure distribution
• Break Them In — The fit will improve after a few uses
