Rutlands sell them in the uk. I bought the XL version that has a tapped hole in the bottom. You can then screw on a riser a put it into a dog hole to aid stability. If you screw on an xl riser you can lift the workpiece off the bench by 3″
These a great little devices and I find I’m using them a lot.

Just recieved a set of the Bench Cookies Plus. They are drilled and tapped for a 3/8inch bolt. Rockler sells risers but I have found that I can use 3/4 inch dowels and glue a bolt in the end after drilling and get the same effect. And I can have them any size I want.

I doubt it geckos use hairs on their feet which are so small they actually create a Van der Waals force with the molecules of whatever material they are climbing on at the time, Van der Waals force is essentially any attraction between molecules or atoms not caused by either covalent or ionic bonds. And A one doctor Dinojawa (Think I’m spelling that right if not sorry doctor) At the university of Ackron ohio has used carbon nano tubes to recreate that effect its really cool stuff.

Just bought a set last weekend, they were on sale at Rockler. Tried them out and they seem to work well. Better than the traditional router matt.

Just got my Bench Cookies and they seem to work very well. This works for my limited work area where I do not have the bench with the dogs for clamping.

Great Idea, these pucks. Unfortunately I wont be able to by one in Germany in near future.
But I made things like that from peaces of Ply with a rubber in german called “Moosgummi”.
This is used on tools for filling the insert of tiles (hope i translated right). Its cheap, does not leave any marks, doens`t care about sawdust, could bee glued with ordanary woodglue, doesn’t slip at all, even on waxed surfaces. I use this for a long time to make pushsticks, because its thickness of 0,2″ allows me to move is over the blade with only sawing rubber, not pushsticks.

I’m thinking “bench puck” would be a more fitting name.
