π Slab clamping dogs are small clamp blocks used to hold a slab or board in place on a flattening sled or workbench. SpeTool offers a set of **4 aluminum clamping dogs (product O05004)**:contentReference[oaicite:63]{index=63}. They work by being fastened to a base or spoilboard around the slab, effectively trapping it so it canβt slide when the router passes over. Each dog has a lip that presses down on the slabβs edge and a screw to tighten it. By using four (or more for very large slabs) around the piece, you secure the slab from all sides. This is crucial for router flattening β you donβt want the workpiece to shift at all. These clamping dogs make positioning and holding odd-shaped slabs easy, as you can snug them up against the live edge. Theyβre like adjustable stops that ensure accurate, safe flattening. If youβre using a SpeTool sled, you can screw these dogs into the base board at appropriate spots to lock the slab, then confidently flatten without the slab budging.
