Hello,

A couple of years ago, i bought a workbench assembly at Canadian Tire (our
Home Depot).
The top working surface has a number of holes bored through it, in each of
which can be fitted the lower end of a cross-sectionally rectangular,
elongated wood stick. When this wood stick is fitted in one of these bores,
it projects vertically upwardly from the surface of the workbench.

What are these for??? I imagine they're used as guiding means of some sort.
I've kindda discarded them cause i didn't see any use for them.... but i've
seen them around on other workbenches than mine, so i imagine they must be
useful to some extent.

thanks for the info


I use a dog when I am sanding a panel, especially with a belt sander.
It keeps the material in place. Sometimes a dog and a dog in the vise
are used to hold material. Once you understand how they work, you'll
probably use them more often. (You can't have too many clamps.)
