HONGDUI HD30-PC09 TrueGrid MFT Drilling Layout
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout
Manual layout math always introduces error compounding down the line. The HONGDUI PC09 changes the game by using a flawless, physical indexing registration system that mechanically locks into place for every consecutive plunge. Whether you are boring a flagship MFT station from scratch or field-drilling an extension top, the PC09 prevents drill bit wandering and twisting. Setup once, plunge with absolute confidence, and unlock CNC-grade stability using your standard hand drill.
CNC-Level Precision Without the Machine
Engineered to achieve CNC-like accuracy for dog hole grids on any standard wooden workbench.
Eliminates human error by utilizing a rigid mechanical interlocking system rather than manual marking.
Rock-Solid "Mechanical Locking" Logic
Screw-down Caps: Unlike systems that rely on prone-to-shift clamps, the TrueGrid template is screwed directly into the tabletop, becoming "one" with the workbench for zero movement during drilling.
Three-Ring Expansion Alignment: Designed around the signature HONGDUI 3-ring expansion bench dogs, the drill guide mechanically locks into the template, providing maximum resistance against tipping or shifting.
High-Precision Dual-Stage Drilling
3mm Pilot Guide: Includes a dedicated pilot drill guide to create a clean, perfectly vertical center point before final boring.
Custom Long-Shank Forstner Bit: Features a premium, ultra-sharp Forstner bit with an extended shank, capable of drilling through worktops up to 40mm thick with 100% perpendicularity.
Ultimate Layout Flexibility
96mm & 48mm Compatibility: While the base grid is a standard 96mm, the system allows you to accurately drill intermediate holes to increase local resolution to 48mm (ideal for areas near a vise).
Infinite Grid Expansion: By using "Anchor Rings" and maintaining three points of contact with previously drilled holes, the template can be moved across any size workbench while maintaining perfect alignment.

FAQ
Check out the most common questions our customers asked.
Does it support both 19mm (3/4 inch) and 20mm dog holes?
No, It only supports 20mm standard dog hole.
What is the difference between PC09-01 and PC09-02?
The difference between PC09-01 and PC09-02 comes down to the completeness of the kit, depending on whether you already own the foundational setup tools.
PC09-01 (Lite Version): This is the simplified or basic version. It is designed for customers who already own a hole reamer/chamfer tool and bench dogs, allowing them to add to their existing setup without paying for duplicate tools.
PC09-02 (Full Kit): This is the comprehensive, all-in-one master set. It comes fully loaded with the hole chamfering tool (reamer) and a set of 6 HD30-KS30 Bench Dogs, giving you everything needed to start building and aligning an MFT layout from scratch.
Is it compatible with other MFT brands like Festool or Woodpeckers?
Absolutely. The 20mm version is fully compatible with standard Festool MFT/3 tables, custom UJK Parf Guide system tops, and Woodpeckers SmartTables.
Do I need specialized tools to set up the system?
No specialized tools are required. Many of the premium components in the HD30 ecosystem feature top-mounted stainless steel thumbscrews and expandable inner braces. You can lock them firmly into the table holes or slide them along the fence tracks completely tool-free, eliminating workflow interruptions.
- Its really hard to go wrong with this one. Its so straight I didnt think itd be possible.
- Worth every penny, the quality and product is incredible.
- I am extremely happy. It is pretty good and accurate. Very easy to setup.
perfect
the TrueGrid is very well made. The guide itself is very thick and sturdy. All the pieces look very good and well made. Have not used the TrueGrid yet but looks simplier to make an accurate MFT grid.
Promising device and concept. be extremely careful in your setup phase as that is by far the most crucial aspect of this device. i have a number of improvements so ping me if you want the list
Detailed instructions which are easy to understand accompanied by step by step diagrams
deliver with one week in advance,I am super happy. great finish. quality material.
I received from parcel man and i was very impressed with the hongdui true grit MFT layout system. It came in a excellent box the true grit MFT is beautifully made iam happy i brought it,great manual book it came last week.
i am extremely happy. it is pretty good and accirate. very easy to setup. good packaging,mostly clear instructions. the only downside is i needed to buy the dogs separately.
worth every penny,unfortunately it was a long wait due to insufficient stock. the quality and product is incredible. not tried it yet because I need to buy the sheet of MDF.__the full package includes the 6mm drill bit despite it stating that it doesnt include it,however you do need at least 4 dogs with triple lock rings,50mm or 60mm will be great
This dog hole drilling guide is very good quality and value. Less expensive than another leading jig I was considering. impressed with the design and construction.
Looks good so far. Would prefer the option of a full kit offering all the accessories
I have waited with the review until I finished my MFT table.__First of all I have to say it is the best 96/20 MFT table I have ever worked with. Its really hard to go wrong with this one. All that was promised in the HoW video is true. When the template is mounted to the piece of MDF it just doesnt come loose,doesnt wobble,does not shift - it just sits there waiting to be drilled.__It is not a secret that drills are not the straightest things and when you drill it will shake violently. The way the template is secured to MDF makes it completely irrelevant. Its just AWESOME!__There are just two ways you can mess things up: you either dont drill the pilot hole or you dont secure the template as it should be (with the supplied screws or bench dogs in the later phase.__When drilling a hole in-the-middle of two other holes,effectively doubling the hole resolution,you have to drill the pilot hole too. Use the supplied tool upside down like in the picture I attached to this post.__When you use bench dogs to secure the template you have to use the reamer first,or else the bench dogs will get stuck in the hole.__The drill bit and the Forster bit survived intact the whole process and are good for another 100 holes at minimum.__The effect is stunning! Its so straight I didnt think itd be possible to get that kind of result without a CNC machine. When I drilled mine I didnt go exactly as the manual says but it still matched all the holes exactly as they were supposed to.
