In this video, I’ll show you how to make a powerful and budget-friendly DIY clamp for your MFT-style workbench using a toggle clamp and an expanding dog base. This clever jig locks into your 20mm dog holes and delivers surprising clamping force—perfect for small workshops and tight budgets.
You'll see step-by-step how to make the expanding dog mechanism, how to mount the toggle clamp, and how this simple upgrade transforms your clamping workflow.
👉 Perfect for Festool MFT tables, DIY MFT builds, and 20mm dog hole systems.
