I use a sacrificial fence fairly regularly and this would elimate the problem of the clamps being in the way for taller cuts.

What's it called...and for bonus points, where can I get a pair?

Well, there ya go.

I should have thought to check Rockler.

Thanks!

SigForum...this is your brain on tools.

Bisley didn’t even get a chance to roll out the “Pondo-clamp” explanation...

Not that it didn't cross my mind ...

I'm just to slow these days

did it help the logo is on the clamp?

I saw that but couldn't read it.

Going to pick up a couple sets, thanks for posting!


Looks like Amazon has a decent knock off set. I am going to try these.

Yup, that's the way I went.

I have a pair of the Rockler clamps and they work well. I put a couple of water bottle tops on the flat washers to keep from messing up the aluminum fence.

Good tip, I'll do that when mine come in.

A good clamp is worth it's weight in gold.
Can never have enough or too many.
I like the Kreg stuff but plenty of good other products.
I got a Kreg router table which had many clamping options - GREAT ... going to build a Kreg based workbench with some of the clamp solutions ... sorry but I digress.

I looked at some of the Kreg system, especially the pocket screw stuff. Toy budget is seriously anemic at the moment, but I may invest in that when things fatten up a little.

And when you learn the terms "Bessey" and "K-Body" you'll know what excellent really is. Your bank account will also begin to shrink accordingly.

Fer Shure. Used to watch Norm Abrams on PBS. Told the wife "He's got more money tied up in clamps than I do in my whole shop!"

I like watching these guys,

but they kinda drive me nuts

They decide to build a nice gate leg table,

they already have $40,000.00 worth of tools,
before they start on the table they need to construct four different jigs on three different power tools

so now they have three days and $70.00 in , just the jigs to make the table parts,
then

they start the table. they must have a separate shed just for all the jigs.

The thing about all the tools and jigs is that they make harder job easier and everything more consistent.

A master can make a beautiful piece of furniture with a set of tools that will fit in a box a little bigger than a shoebox.

Someone who hasn't put years and years of constant work into mastering those skills and techniques can't do the same job with the same tools, but a reasonably experienced amateur can compensate somewhat with a bunch of tools and jigs and produce very high quality pieces.
