I got my renewal notice for FWW, just after getting that horrible issue
with the article on clamping - yea, one of those Irwin hand clamps will
apply more pressure than my Bessy K body. I don't think so...

One thing that people haven't mentioned is that the hand clamps in that
article are the new "XP" ones, which can generate way more force than
the old ones. They're rated at 550lbs for one-handed clamping, and
900lbs for two-handed.

According to this post in the sawmill creek forums
(http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showpost...2&postcount=52) the
K-bodys tested out at about 800-900 lbs, depending on whether he used
one or two hands.

So I don't think it's totally unreasonable...
