I'm about to drill bench dog holes in a slab maple bench 30" x 72". Iintend to place my 12" Record vise adjacent to the left front corner.I'm wondering if anyone has determined optimum placement for dog holes~ how many and where?Thanks

I will be there soon, Hopefully. ;~)I would think that you would want them perhaps slightly more closely spaced than the distance that the vise opens.

That's the exact reason I used plywood when I built my CMS stand. Part of it is used as a bench top, and there's no regrets when I screw in to it, bang on it, route things on it and make grooves and holes and the like. When it gets bad enough, I'll just cut another piece and replace it.

I only wish it was deeper so I could fit some T-track on it. Guess I'll have to cut another piece to back it.

I wouldn't do it anyway. You will constantly be retrieving small items that fall into the tracks and trying to clean the sawdust out.
