I got e-mail from Woodpeckers with a new 20 mm bench peg for MFT, does anybody use it already? How is the fit in the MFT hole? I know that price is right, but what about quality? This company usually, at least from my experience making good quality stuff.

I have not bought them yet but I probably will.  I have a Woodpeckers square and it is great.  That square was a big help squaring my MFT.
 
I just bought a couple of the Veritas planing stops mentioned earlier in this thread or I would probably get a set from Woodpecker.

I ordered and received two of the Woodpecker sizes.  Quality appears to be good.  Fits the table as well as my Qwas Dogs.

There are no threads in the holes of the Woodpecker dogs.

DW gave me the Veritas planing stops for Christmas.  They are terrific.

 
I bought a 4-pack of each of the 3 sizes. They have a tiny amount of play and this is most noticeable with their 25.4 mm Pegs. I'd say less than 1/64" of play with their 5 mm and 10 mm Pegs. I haven't measured. But if you want precision I would definitely avoid their 25.4 mm pegs. As long as there is the least amount of positive pressure from your workpiece against these 5 mm and 10 mm Pegs, then they are what I would consider precise. They appear to mix-and-match well, at least when using the 5 mm and 10 mm Pegs. But, again, I would avoid their 25.4 mm Pegs because of their definite tendency to "lean" with pressure from your workpiece and this "lean" by the 25.4 mm Pegs will not "play well" when using these with the 5 mm and 10 mm Pegs.

Measure,

What do the pegs measure with a caliper in mm?

Thanks

I just received my order of the 5mm and 10mm sizes.  They measure right about 19.29mm using my Starrett micrometer. The fit in my MFT/3 is pretty snug but there is some slight play. As these are the only dogs I own, I cannot compare them with any of the others.
