Bench Dog Holes In Plywood. These bench dogs are not really thick, but 18 mm pine is strong enough. The dog holes are a bit worn at the edges but they still serve the purpose fine. I've not had a proper workbench since i started my woodworking hobby last year, so i'm in the midst of building the rock solid plywood bench from fw #181.
While you can simply drill a another advantage is that the thick plywood guides help you keep the bit perpendicular to the surface.
I used a router and a chamfering bit to chamfer the rim of all the dog holes. I would like to use a plunge router to make sure the holes are 90 degrees to the top. Cut into the dog about quarter of the way and then. I had some pallet wood that happens to be white oak. I want to bore bench dog holes in the top and wondering what is the best method? I wanted to make the bench dogs in hard wood. Now i need to make a hole in my work table. I want to use this for a long time and then move it to another workbench in the future.
