Product Information
Full details
The Kreg Clamp Plate is designed for woodworkers and DIY enthusiasts who need to transform nearly any flat work surface into a high-performance clamping station. By providing a secure, recessed mounting point for Kreg Bench Clamps, it ensures high-pressure holding power exactly where you need it most while maintaining a flush, unobstructed work surface when the clamp is removed; however, it requires precise routing into your workbench or material to ensure a perfectly level fit.

FAQs
Can I install this on a metal workbench?
The Kreg Clamp Plate is designed to be routed into wood or composite materials, so it is not suitable for direct mounting to thick steel surfaces.
Which Kreg clamps work with this plate?
The plate is designed to be compatible with standard Kreg Bench Clamps.
Is the installation permanent?
Yes, once routed and installed, it is meant to stay in that location on your workbench.
How deep do I need to route the pocket?
You should route the pocket to the exact depth of the plate's thickness so that the face of the plate sits flush with your workbench.
Does the plate come with mounting screws?
Yes, it is designed to be secured to your workspace using the provided mounting holes.
Troubleshooting
Clamp feels loose when inserted into the plate
Verify that the clamp mechanism is fully seated and clear of any sawdust or debris inside the plate's aperture.
Plate is not flush with the workbench surface
Remove the plate and deepen or level the routed pocket in your wood surface until the plate sits perfectly flat.
Difficulty inserting the bench clamp
Ensure the bench clamp base is clean and free of burrs, and clear the plate opening of any small wood particles that might be obstructing the path.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Kreg Clamp Plate, you must route a shallow pocket into your workbench or material that matches the plate's dimensions, ensuring the top of the plate sits perfectly flush with your surface. Use a router with the appropriate bit to achieve a clean, level recess. Once the pocket is prepared, secure the plate into the recess. The plate is compatible with Kreg Bench Clamps. To care for the plate, keep the internal socket free of sawdust and wood chips using compressed air or a vacuum to ensure the clamp mechanism engages smoothly every time. Periodically check that the mounting screws remain tight, especially if the plate is installed in a high-vibration area like a table saw extension.
