UJK low-profile bench dogs are supplied in pairs, made from precision-machined anodised aluminium, with a 20 mm diameter. Designed for clamping workpieces during sanding, planing, and machining thin materials where taller dogs would obstruct tools. Compatible with the Festool MFT/3 workbench, UJK multi-function tables, and all grid tables with 20 mm holes. Made in Great Britain. Distributed in Italy by Krollit, official UJK distributor since 2007.

Who are the UJK low-profile bench dogs for?
| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Carpenter sanding or planing on a multi-function table |
Suitable |
The low profile does not interfere with the sander or plane during work; clamps the workpiece without obstructing its surface |
| Anyone working with thin materials on a grid table |
Suitable |
The contained protrusion is sufficient as a side stop for thin materials, keeping the profile as low as possible |
| Anyone requiring zero-tolerance clamping or an expansion mechanism |
Not suitable |
Low-profile dogs do not have a clamping mechanism; for applications requiring zero tolerance, UJK expanding bench dogs are recommended |
Not suitable for: use with guide rails and track saws, for which dogs with a minimum protrusion of 30–60 mm are required; and for operations requiring zero-tolerance clamping without play.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between UJK low-profile dogs and expanding bench dogs?
Low-profile dogs are made of anodised aluminium, have no clamping mechanism and are inserted directly into the 20 mm hole. Expanding dogs are made of 303 stainless steel and reduce tolerance to zero with a simple turn of the top.
Low-profile dogs are recommended for sanding, planing, and side clamping of thin materials where minimum protrusion is critical. Expanding dogs are recommended when zero tolerance and complete absence of play are required, such as when using with guide rails and track saws.
Are UJK low-profile dogs compatible with the Festool MFT/3 table?
Yes. UJK low-profile dogs are compatible with the Festool MFT/3 table, with UJK multi-function tables, and with all grid tables with 20 mm holes. They do not require a chamfer around the hole for operation, unlike expanding dogs with a chamfer ring.
For what material thickness are UJK low-profile dogs recommended?
Low-profile dogs function as a side stop for any material with a thickness equal to or greater than their protrusion. For materials thinner than the dog's protrusion, the dog protrudes more than the material itself and does not provide an effective stop.
In practice, they are recommended for thin panels where all other dogs in the range with greater protrusion would have excessive bulk compared to the material thickness.
Is it more convenient to buy single pairs or the complete set of 8 dogs?
Those who need only one height purchase the corresponding single pair. Those who plan to work with materials of variable thickness and want full coverage of the 4 heights (6, 8, 10 mm with rounded face and 12 mm with flat face) will find the complete set of 8 dogs to be the solution in a single purchase.
How many dogs are included in the package?
The package includes 2 low-profile dogs. Two dogs are the minimum configuration to clamp a workpiece on two opposite sides during sanding or planing on a multi-function table.
