Sometimes the smallest part carries the weight of intention. AnchorPlug isn’t built to impress at first glance; it’s built to disappear, so your bench reads finished and your work flows.
Why it matters on the bench
Unused 20 mm holes are the cost of versatility on an MFT‑style bench. When they’re idle, they collect chips, swallow small fasteners, and break the visual rhythm of a dialed setup. Covering the ports you’re not using helps the bench behave like part of the system — not something you fight. Here’s the practical effect in use:
Clean, continuous plane that respects edges and finishes
Fewer drop‑throughs and less time hunting small parts
A surface that looks and feels deliberate between operations
Small changes compound across the day; when the top reads as one finished plane, decisions get easier and the bench fades into the background where it belongs.
Designed for the system (fit, feel, material)
AnchorPlug integrates into any MFT‑style bench by slotting into available 20 mm dog holes, and it’s tuned for SYS‑GRP, so it complements AnchorPod, BenchGrip, rails, and plates without calling attention to itself. Made from magnetic stainless with a precise, no‑mar seat, AnchorPlug drops in, lifts out smoothly, and sits flush with the top.
A maker moment
Between ops, the rhythm is simple: Argos tweaks the pods, AnchorPlugs lift with a fingertip, dust clears, and the plugs drop back in — no chasing screws that slipped into the grid — and the next cut arrives with the bench already in tune. When the small parts cooperate, the bench works like a system, not just a surface.
Pairs well with Argos
Argos has a magnetic personality — literally — and it lives on your bench so adjustments and resets don’t slow you down. In practice, Argos and AnchorPlug make a quiet team: plugs keep the plane clean and predictable, while Argos is always at hand to tweak pods, then — lovingly — remove AnchorPlugs and reset fixtures without breaking flow.
A local, system‑native option
Benchdogs UK set the bar for hole‑plug utility and helped define the category. Customers began asking us about plugs after seeing them in our own setups; the friction was practical — tariffs, VAT, higher shipping, longer lead times. AnchorPlug is a local, SYS‑GRP‑native choice aligned to your bench and our ecosystem.
