Veritas Large Stainless-Steel Parf Dogs, 70mm

Veritas large stainless-steel Parf dogs, 70 mm tall.

Named after their designer, Peter Parfitt, Parf dogs let you take advantage of the grid of the Festool MFT/3 multifunction table to set up accurate, repeatable cuts. Using a pair of small dogs to position the workpiece and a pair of tall Parf dogs to position the fence on top of it, you can easily achieve parallel or square cuts. Veritas worked with Parfitt to improve the design. Machined from stainless steel, the dogs have a 19.90 mm post that fits snugly in the 20 mm holes of the MFT/3, and are supported by a collar 25 mm in diameter and 10 mm tall for stability. Each dog has a threaded hole so it can be fastened from below with an MFT clamping knob (not included) or the inexpensive Veritas star-shaped knob (sold separately).

The tall Parf dog is 19.90 mm in diameter above its collar, matching its post. It can also be used for jigs, for example a simple beam compass: drill a 20 mm hole for the dog in one end of a long board and use a marking tool, router or jigsaw at the other.
