AnchorPod puts the workholding inside the bench — a patent‑pending vacuum anchor that drops into your 20 mm (MFT) or 3/4 in dog hole so the surface stays clear and the setup stays repeatable.
SYS‑GRP AnchorPod is built for makers who are tired of clamps and top‑mounted pods getting in the way of toolpaths and workflow. It combines benchdo

The benchmark vac dogs were as advertised. Easy to use, lock in place, and work well with the gaskets. Holding power is good. Used various types of wood to hold down to my MFT 3 table. Purchased additional supplies to use with vacuum pucks and accessories after seeing the quality of this item. Company is very quick to reply to inquiries.

To small
The vac dog was too small for my MFT dog holes. I had to wrap three wraps elec tape around the vac dog to get it to fit. I wish the vac dog expanded more than it does. And yes, I have an MFT table with the right sized dog holes.
Update: A member of the sales team contacted, asked me to check the vac dog and sure enough I was shipped in the wrong vac dog! The correct vac dog is on the way! Changed my rating from 2-starts to 5. Customer service and doing the right thing always wins the day!
Thanks Forg3d!

Awesome
This little bench dog is ideal for quickly clamping small pieces for any number of tasks. Not really what I was looking for so I’ve ordered the Max set and the trscksew guide set. Very happy though.
