i was wondering if anybody has any ideas or changes to what i am going to do. i want to mount a fence( incra) to my mft top . what i want to make is a qwas dog that is 50 mm long above the table. i want to cut away this wider section on one side so that there is a flat flush with the dog part. i will drill 2 holes into this flet face to mount the fence to.
i was planning on asking QWAS if he would make a pair or two for me. havent asked him yet as dont want to have to change the plan half way through.
what do ye all think ?

John was going by John2532 on here and eBay but has changed his eBay name to toolimprovements. He makes a very fine product and I have an agreement with him not copy each others products. So if that is what you want, then John is your man. Let me throw some other ideas at you.  Here is a 50 mm tall fence on dogs that are about 20 mm tall. Works fine. I can make those dogs as tall you want.   And what's wrong with round dogs? I've tried them and they work just fine.   I've shipped some products over to Europe already and I will guess the cost at $12-14 USD. |

hi steve
i would prefer to have the fence attached to a flat surface simply for rigidity and acuracy.
haw much would 1 and 4 of those hexagonal ones cost if they were 50mm or so high above the table.
if its easier one of your normal dogs thats longer would do as i could cut it myself if that is tooo much hasle.
the shipping isnt that bad as i would be buying 4 bench dogs and 2 rail dogs as well

Since you are the first to order these and want to order other products, I would prefer to discuss the price privately.

Thanks for the referrals guys.
Alan, the adjustable diameter dogs have been popular as they compensate for variations in MFT hole sizes, making a snug fit easily attainable.
If I can help you out I am always willing to ship international.

He is selling a whole lot of odd-shaped Qwas Dogs on eBay at present; maybe you'll find what you need there. I think the price is far better than normal, too....

I rarely if ever use my MFT's without also using some Qwas Dogs. I also hate to think about how less useful the MFT tables would be if Steve hadn't come up with the idea & started selling them.

I have a bunch of LV dogs, but I prefer the shape Qwas dogs with the MFT top. I don't have an MFT table, but did buy a small MFT top from Bob Marino. With my TS55, the 32" rail, 2 of Steve's rail dogs, and a few Qwas dogs, I have been able to make perfectly square crosscuts without fail. I use 4 of the Rockler bench dogs to raise the MFT top off of the workbench.
My only regret is not getting the larger top, since I love this setup with the TS55 for everything.
Steve
