The Worktop Wafer – Non-Slip Work holding Pads for Woodworking & DIY
Worktop Wafers are low-profile work holding pads designed to keep your projects secure while protecting your work surface. Inspired by traditional bench cookies, these wafers use either self-adhesive rubber pads or TPU Printed pads to create a reliable non-slip surface, giving you control without clamps.
Each wafer lifts your workpiece slightly off the bench, allowing dust, glue squeeze-out, and finishes to stay clear of your project while reducing unwanted movement. Ideal for woodworking, model making, and general DIY tasks.
Key Features
- Designed for stick-on rubber pads or TPU printed pads to provide excellent grip
- Tool-friendly design – if you accidentally cut or sand into a wafer, it won’t damage blades or bits
- Protects your worktop from scratches, glue, and finish marks
- Low-profile clearance for sanding, routing, and finishing
- No clamps required – fast and flexible work holding
- Reusable and durable for everyday workshop use
Pad Requirement
To achieve the non-slip performance, self-adhesive rubber or silicone pads or TPU printed pads must be applied to the recessed areas of each Worktop Wafer.
Self-adhesive pads are commonly available online and in hardware stores (often sold as furniture feet or anti-slip pads).
Information regarding the self-adhesive rubber pad and be found on the Worktop Wafer Cut-out Template print profile.
There are two types of TPU Self printed pads available.
Printing Recommendations
- Material: PLA
- Infill: 15%
