A must-have accessory
for your table saw!
Blade-Loc is a revolutionary blade-changing tool that provides safer
changes for you and your table saw blades. Most people don’t realize that
using a piece of scrap wood can bend the blade, enough to leave scratch
marks and tear-out in delicate panels. Blade-Loc evenly grips the blade
around its perimeter and will not bend it! Moreover, Blade-Loc protects your
hands. There is simply no better way to change your blades. Made from a
specially formulated polymer, Blade-Loc is guaranteed to last a lifetime.
➤ Protect your hands from serious injury.
➤ No more chipped or bent blades.
➤ Fits all 10" table saws.
➤ Replaces the scrap wood and double-wrench
methods of blade changing.
THREE SIMPLE STEPS!
Setup is fast and easy!

Feather-Loc is like having an extra hand to stabilize your stock and keep
it against your rip fence. This prevents chatter, gouging and dangerous
kickback. You’ll get safer, cleaner cuts and less waste. Feather-Loc’s durable
polymer feather tips will not mar your workpiece. Large clamping knobs are
easy on the hands and the exclusive miter slot adapter holds tight in any
position. Feather-Loc's built in setup feather makes setting the proper tension
fast, easy and repeatable. You can remove Feather-Loc from the saw without
table saw accessories
altering the tension setting. Includes miter slot adapter.
➤ Holds stock against the rip fence for better safety and accuracy.
➤ Produces smooth, chatter-free cuts with less gouging.
➤ Reduces kickback, binding and bent blades.
➤ Can be flipped to work on either side of the fence.
➤ Fits standard miter gauge slots (3/4" wide by 3/8" deep)
found in most table saws, band saws, router tables and shapers.

Get perfect cross-cuts
with your circular saw!
Stock No. 10-019
Pro-Cut is the ultimate portable saw guide.
It’s inexpensive, easy-to-handle, and produces
perfect 90° crosscuts. Pro-Cut also helps to reduce
dangerous kickback. Built-in guides quickly square Pro-Cut
to the workpiece, and two rubber strips prevent side-to-side
movement. The best part is how quickly it aligns your saw to
the cut line. Here’s how it works: the first time you use
Pro-Cut, your saw will trim away a small portion from the
tool. This fits Pro-Cut to your circular saw. The next time
you align Pro-Cut to your cut line or mark, your saw will
automatically align too! You will be amazed at how much
cleaner your crosscuts look. Fast, safe, accurate and clean!
➤ Turns your circular saw into a precision cutting
tool — perfect 90° crosscuts, every time.
➤ Instantly aligns your saw to the cut line!
➤ Dramatically reduces dangerous kickback,
binding and bent blades.
➤ Cuts lumber, siding, I-beams, trim, stair treads
and more!
➤ Reduces tear-out and splintering.
➤ Prevents your saw from scratching the work.
➤ Use for marking, measuring and layout.

Get your hands out of harm's way!
Stock No. 10-025
A push stick isn’t much good if you can’t find it! That’s why
we designed our revolutionary Push-Loc with a dedicated
docking station that keeps Push-Loc upright and ready
for use. No more fumbling with the push stick in the
middle of a cut — just reach out and grab it! The docking
station is also a handy pencil tray, and it even houses up
to two tape measures. Another goal was to make our
push stick safer, less likely to hinder visibility, and less
likely to get caught on the blade guard. Furthermore, it
had to work on router tables and jointers. Push-Loc’s
patented offset handle accomplishes all these goals. It
gets your hands out of harm’s way, improves line-of-sight
visibility, and allows your hand to easily clear the blade
guard. On router tables, the offset works by preventing
your hand from scraping the table top.
➤ Ergonomic “no-slip” grip for comfort and safety.
➤ Special handle geometry keeps Push-Loc
parallel to the fence throughout the entire cut.
➤ Rear tail hook holds tight, but is still compatible
with thinner material.
➤ Rubber sole helps prevent slippage and won’t
mar your workpiece.

MARK AND CUT
Trim-Loc will quickly
become your tool of choice
for marking 45° and 90° cuts
and 3/16" reveals for trim.
Also makes a handy square
for checking your angles.
Trim-Loc is the only tool on the market used to measure, mark
and install casement trim. With this handy, lightweight tool in your belt,
trimwork will go like clockwork. Trim-Loc’s built-in tape measure hook slots and
preset reveal allow you to accurately measure all of your trim pieces at once, saving you hours
of time. After you measure and record the trim lengths, use Trim-Loc to accurately transfer the
measurements to your trim stock and mark cut lines. Finally, use Trim-Loc to hold the trim
pieces in perfect alignment while you nail them in place. Trim-Loc holds the trim fast,
preventing the nail gun from throwing it out of alignment. Use the starter nail guide to help
prevent costly splits and wasted material.
For better convenience and efficiency, purchase two Trim-Locs: one for your tool belt and one
for mounting to your bench — a must for carpentry crews and large trim jobs. Trim-Loc has
many other uses, too. For example, use Trim-Loc’s precise 45° and 90° guides to mark cut
lines, square jambs and true power tools. Trim-Loc is a perfect companion for your miter saw
because it’s easy to hold and doesn’t get in the way. Once you see how handy Trim-Loc is,
we’re sure it will become your tool belt favorite!

Crown-Cut eliminates the complication of cutting crown and cove
molding, giving you perfect miters, every time. What’s the secret?
Crown-Cut holds the molding at its intended angle while you cut it.
No more compound cuts and tedious trial and error!
Before Crown-Cut, miscalculated compound cuts
produced sloppy miters that screamed for caulk and paint.
Crown-Cut requires only a simple miter cut that any miter saw
can do. For a professional-looking job, cut your crown and cove
the easy way. Even if you’re using the coping method
for inside miters, Crown-Cut will prove just as useful
for the initial cuts.

Nine possible router table combinations
with three tops and three bases!
Design your router table
the way YOU want it!
Our modular router table system allows you to mix and
match any of our full-size tops with any of our full-size
bases. If you prefer the open design of our ProTop
Open Stand, but want the stability and accuracy of
our cast iron ProMAX T op, by all means pair them up.
This capability is ideal for woodworkers who have
more than one router table; the ProMAX Cabinet
already has storage for router bits, so the other stand
rarely needs it. On the other hand, if you do need
more storage, but want a phenolic top, you can pair
the ProMAX Cabinet with the ProTop Phenolic Top.
It’s all about picking the right configuration to suit your
needs — the choice is yours!

ProGuard is essential for guarding your body
during freehand routing operations. Without a fence,
it’s too easy to momentarily forget where the bit is.
The polycarbonate shield resists the impact of chips
and flying debris, while the aluminum body ensures secure
mounting. ProGuard has a built-in dust port for cleaner, more
pleasant routing, better visibility and enhanced safety. ProGuard
also works great as a starting pin. You can mount ProGuard on
almost any plate or routertop (drilling and tapping two holes is
required). It bolts securely to the top of ProLift or ProPlate
Aluminum without modification. Don’t put your body at risk!
➤ Built-in 2-1/2" dust port.
➤ Clearance hole for router bit bearing.
➤ Shatter-resistant polycarbonate shield.

Feather-Loc is essential for holding your
stock firmly against your power tool’s fence
and tabletop. Use one on the table saw to
keep long stock against the rip fence. On router
tables and shapers, use one before and after the
cutter. Attach Feather-Locs to both the fence and
the tabletop when routing long, thin stock on the router
table. Not only will Feather-Loc protect your hands, it also
helps prevent kickback, binding and bent blades. Its durable
polymer retains its flex memory, ensuring a steady feed rate.
Feather-Loc’s rounded feather tips will not mar your
workpiece. The exclusive built-in setup feather makes setting
the tension fast, easy and repeatable. Next time you’re
machining tall, thin or narrow stock, think Feather-Loc. Safer
cuts. Better cuts. Every time. See below for which model suits
your requirements.

Developed with
expert input from
Lonnie Bird!
Panel-Loc was developed in
conjunction with acclaimed
woodworker Lonnie Bird,
pictured above in his woodshop. The unique design of Panel-Loc
places downward pressure on your workpiece at just the right
place — 2" away from the fence. This prevents the tipping that
occurs with ordinary featherboards. Panel-Loc also provides
excellent protection from accidental contact with the router bit, and
its long surface area protects you from flying chips and dust.
Panel-Loc includes a 20" length of our T-Loc accessory track for
mounting to most available fences. Fits ALL Bench Dog Tools
router tables.
➤ Protects your hands from large bits!
➤ Fits ALL Bench Dog T ools router tables and fences,as well as most other router table fences.
➤ Holds your panel down firmly for better cuts and completely eliminates unwanted lifting.

T-Loc is a horizontal 1/4"
accessory T-track. The T-slot
captures 1/4" hex-head bolts used on
many aftermarket accessories. Use T-Loc to add a

uses too, such as a guide, holding stops, or other fixtures. T-Loc is
the best way to attach our Feather-Loc featherboards and other
Bench Dog Tools accessories to your shop-made fence. T-Loc can
also be mounted to many other brands of router table fences. T-Loc
may also be an effective way to add a horizontal T-track to your
