Hi guys,
Im getting ready to drill a few 3/4" holes for bench dogs in my 2 3/4" thick bench top (per my earlier thread). The holes will go all the way through and be (hopefully) perpendicular to the top.
Ive been reading the archives and Id like to try the Grammercy holdfasts. I wanted to check with you folks on two things.
1. Will they work in the perpendicular holes Im drilling for bench dogs? Or do the holes for hold fasts require a different angle? (I ask because some of the cutaway pictures Ive seen look like the holes are not perpendicular.)
2. Will the Grammercys damage bench dog holes over time? I got the impression they go easy on your dog holes, but I dont know if they still cause damage.
Thanks guys,
Fred
