A bench peg is the one piece of jewellery equipment you can't really do without once you start sawing and filing metal. It gives you a solid raised surface to work against, keeps your piece supported while you cut, and makes the whole process more controlled and less frustrating. This one clips onto any table or desk, so you don't need a dedicated jewellery workbench to use it properly.
The V-slot groove is the key feature. When you're using a jewellers saw or piercing saw to cut shapes or pierce designs, the V gives your blade somewhere to travel without your work shifting. You rest your metal over the slot, apply gentle downward pressure, and the bench peg does the work of holding everything steady. It makes a real difference to how clean your cuts come out, especially on curves and fine detail work.
The steel screw clamp grips tabletops up to 44mm thick and locks on firmly without marking the surface. It takes about thirty seconds to set up and comes off just as quickly, which makes it practical even if you're working at a kitchen table or a temporary studio space.
Made in Germany from hardwood, this bench peg is solid and well-built. We use this in our classes and it handles constant use without any issues. If you're also looking at a saw kit, this bench peg is included in several of our kits so you may already have it covered.
