CSC Fence & adaptor Plate 625 & 330 fences

Beautiful extrusions and parts, very well packaged, everything arrived in great condition. Parts are well made, everything fits. There is even an extra connector in case the Festool part isn't long enough. Shipping is pricey but arrived from UK to USA in 3 days.

Fence System Bundle 1200mm with regular Fence Dogs

This fence is very nice. It came well packaged, was easy to setup and use, and the shipping was pretty fast(5 days all the way to LA).

The dual scale is wonderful. The imperial markings are quite legible and easy to setup to 32nds. The metric looks just as good. Installed with the right side support on my 5 foot mft table it has 2 inches of overhang either side. Length calibration is quick and dead on using just a 1x2x3 setup block between the under-rail support and the right-side support fence. And I'd say going with the regular fence dogs like I have is good enough in most circumstances. The dogholes in the table where a fence is likely to attach probably don't get used as often so may be in good condition. The fence mounts very solidly.

I'm not certain why but on my table I had to use a straight 20mm tube as the under-rail support in order to get exact right angles which seemed odd. Yet having done that I'm able to get within 1/50th of an inch after a 15 inch long 5-cut check for square on either side of the rail.

The fence makes repetitive cuts a dream. The two stops they provide can be used on either fence so you're able to make quick work of a sheet of plywood and come out with perfectly matched pieces. The fence with stops is definitely the way to go.

Good quality, pay attention to real costs

Product quality is at the expected level.
Shipping and tax costs are not announced properly and big surprise occur. Benchdog should give you a fair estimate of these costs before to finalise the order.

Reply from Benchdog Tools

Apologies that you are upset about the extra fees incurred, but we do state at checkout that this will be an extra expense. Each country has a different cost and VAT / Tax rate; we also have a website where you can get an estimate for EU orders. The Tick box at checkout explains this, as well as the link. Every country will charge some sort of VAT, we do not charge this if the order is leaving the UK, so you will need to pay these taxes when the items arrive in your country.

5 stars - thumbs up.

Exactly what I expected. Arrived on time, in good condition and assembly was reasonably straight forward. Verified cut quality and all is square. Would have been nice if product description stated the need to purchase additional necessary hardware for mounting to extrusion, but still 5 stars/thumbs up. Great quality, definitely worth the price.

Received my order from the UK to the States in an amazing short time. Packaging was extremely nice and the quality of what I got was very good quality as well! Currently making my own MFT so haven’t got it all together as of now. Although I live in the States I found Peter Millard’s 10 minute workshop videos and Bench Dog came highly recommended. So glad I found BD and will be doing more business in the near future.
Thanks!!

Benchdog "clip kit"…

Thanks to Benchdog for the "clip kit" upgrade and drawing which my local machine shop appreciated. There were however only 2 of the 4 needed screws in the kit for the install so had to outsource two additional screws. Once installed the guide is exactly 90 degrees so mission accomplished.

I have both BD and TSO Guide Rail Squares and find I always reach for the TSO. I find the twist knobs on the BD difficult to use and the new Clasp not nearly as good as the TSO. I can’t say how consistently accurate the BD square is because I rarely use it.

1000x700mm router template

Received my 1000x700mm router template jig on time and well packed and am very impressed. Superb finish and will be getting a lot of use. It has a far more “solid” feel than others used previously with no movement when assembled. I checked it for square and it’s spot on. The extrusion joining method with the anti-rotation pins is really good and the anti-tilt puck is a nice extra. The one very minor improvement I would suggest is marking the top face of the stainless steel bushings to save going around two or three times before hitting the right orientation to allow insertion, I should mention I have fingers like large parsnips on a cold and frosty morning so found it a little fiddly. I’ve marked mine and it does save time and frustration if you’re disassembling for storage.
Overall a very satisfied customer.
