This Rail Hinge Look Interesting

I saw this on my YT home page: Folding Rail Guide Clamp

Looks interesting especially to us who have to put our benches away often.

I'm impressed! Interesting to see all the refinements that went into this but the one I especially like is the most rudimentary, how there is plenty of space created under the rail when it is pivoted up so stock can be slid under.

What a brilliant design. Great share thanks!

( repeating what I said on another post about an MFT question )

#1 — For track saw cutting on an MFT, the decks should be clear of obstructions. That allows for the material to be slid and adjusted in any direction (other than the fence). The Rail Hinge Dogs are not in sync with my work habits.

#2 — In Jan-2026 there was an observation about the Rail Hinge Dogs by a guy in the Facebook MFT group.

He has both the Hongdui (Dennis Hooked on Wood) and the Benchdogs products.

He’s reporting the Hongdui Hinge Dogs are not staying on the mark. There is too much variance over repeated uses.

In contrast, the Benchdogs Hinge Dogs are solid. They are not as easy to setup, yet the desired accuracy is spot-on.

He’s not making cabinets, which does not need extreme precision. Do be repetitive in the same way each time.

Instead, he is making a chessboard — thusly the need for accuracy and repeatability.

He provides more insight via the comments.
