Claim:
A workbench system comprising: a first and a second plurality of dog holes in a planar work surface, the first and second plurality of dog holes defining a respective first and second axis in the planar work surface, the first and the second axis extending in a parallel fashion in the work surface plane; and a plurality of cutting guides, each of the plurality of cutting guides including (i) a body defining a first securing portion on a first side of the body and a second securing portion on a second side of the body opposite to the first side, (ii) a first coupler fixedly positioned with respect to the body and configured to couple with one of the first plurality of holes such that the first securing portion and the second securing portion are substantially parallel with the first axis, and (iii) a guide member defining a guide plane which intersects the first axis and the second axis when the cutting guide is coupled to the work surface, wherein the distance between a centerline of the first coupler and the first securing portion along a third axis perpendicular to the centerline and the first securing portion defines a first side distance, the distance between the centerline of the first coupler and the second securing portion along the third axis defines a second side distance, and the minimum distance between the first axis and the second axis is (i) substantially equal to the width of a first commonly sized work piece plus the first side distance plus the second side distance, (ii) substantially equal to the width of a second commonly sized work piece plus two times the width of the first side distance, and iii) substantially equal to the width of a third commonly sized work piece plus two times the second side distance, each of the first, second, and third commonly sized work pieces having a width different from each of the other of the first, second, and third commonly sized work pieces.
