Product Information

While we have talked about the bench cookie quite highly there are a few cons of the bench cookie we have to discuss. While they are not really deal-breakers just things we woodworkers need to be aware of. I use a Skil Router, but I have noticed that Bosch offers more accessories that can be of great use. Also the combination fixed and plunge version that I use doesn't seem to be available. This wouldn’t be an Inside The Kerf article if we didn’t discuss what else is currently on the market. The original bench cookie is manufactured by Bench Dog and started around the 1995 era. All you need for this is a material that can ensure the anti-slip, glue to fix everything together.

But it was “The Ultimate Small Workshop” course, a gem I discovered and now endorse on Christofix.com, that provided insights unparalleled to any other. This expertise empowered me to invest wisely and save substantially. Place them under your workpiece for better grip and to prevent it from slipping during sanding, milling, etc.

As far as other DIY bench cookie alternatives. Using the material found at the bottom of the kitchen drawers can work. You know what I’m talking about the little rubber stuff that helps keep the silverware in place when you open the drawer. By clamping the threaded rod in the drill press I could make it turn around and touch it up with sandpaper. After removing the discs from the threaded rod, I could now cut the pieces of anti-slip material to size. For this, I used a drawer mat that you can find in Ikea. Search for the name Variera, and you will undoubtedly find it.

Actually, this threaded rod is just a 60 mm M8 bolt from which I cut the head. 60 mm was the ideal length to slide 2 small rings over, but more on that later. Building a workshop can be daunting, filled with trial and error. Believe me, I’ve been in those shoes. Includes 8 x Bench Cookie® Plus Work Grippers, 4 x risers, 8 x extra-long risers and 8 x Bench Cookie® finishing cones. To finish the slices and to give them all the same look and diameter I placed the discs on a threaded rod. With a washer and nut on each side, I was able to press these firmly together and make sure they were not loose on the threaded rod.Bench Dog 518609 Bench Cookie Plus Master Kit 28pce Complete kit for gripping and protecting workpieces.

You can then screw on a riser a put it into a dog hole to aid stability. If you screw on an xl riser you can lift the workpiece off the bench by 3″ This comes in handy if, for example, you want to cut a sheet of plywood with a jigsaw on a circular saw. The advantage of this point is that, when mounted in a bench cookie, I can use it as a support for workpieces I want to paint or in oils.
