Milescraft4016 BenchLock - Bench Clamp Base,Black

This clamp based offers better option than Kreg. Bolt is a bit long. Sawing it down an inch is no problem. Perfect fit for 20mm dog hole workbench. The pocket holes accessory ain't square, which is useless.

This Milescraft base is priced nicely at $10 and gives you more bells and whistles than the Kreg base which costs twice as much. It has a V groove, as well as an alignment jig that helps to clamp down at exactly where the two wood pieces meet. However, I'm not sure how useful it really is, because after all, this base is made for a bench dog table. And when you have such a table, chances are you already have a system on how to square your pieces to join. I have a Kreg adaptive cutting table, and I use fences and bench dogs to make sure pieces are aligned nicely. Nevertheless, it could be useful to some people, which is an added bonus.In the pictures, you'll see I'm using a Kreg clamp with this Milescraft base. They are interchangeable. You can use a Milescraft clamp with the Kreg base as well.

One of the responses to the questions said that it would fit any “5/16” 18 thread INCLUDING KREG” (emphasis added). So I bought three and destroyed all of the packaging in the process. But I next found out that it does not fit the Kreg. It goes in one to two turns then stops. Another comment said that they are difficult to screw in and he had to use pliers. That would have been my experience but I didn’t feel like destroying my Kreg clamp just to install this device.

does the job like it should

Sturdy enough and serviceable. But threading was very difficult to get a into milescraft clamp by hand. Had to use pliers to force insert. Was a bit easier the second fitting, still had to use pliers. More of a place and leave system. Not as handy as the Kreg system (but 3x the money) For $10, you get what you pay for. BTW the clamps are very good.

Love Milescraft stuff quality and value guess I got ahead of myself assuming a clamp was included. should of checked it out more closely.

Not as advertised shows with clamp in video doesn’t come with

The benchlock works well and is nicely compatible with the dog holes in my WORX Pegasus table.

Muy bueno podría ser más versátil pero con uso se hace eficiente
