Has anyone used the Jorgensen 1650 hold down clamp on their bench? The
mount through a 3/4" dog hole.

Coastal tools has them in packs of two for $10.95 (less than $6.00
apiece).
At this price, if they work at all, they seem worthwhile.

Here's the link to the clamps I am talking about:

They look pretty handy and not much of a $ risk. Only problem I see is
getting to the underside of the bench to mount them if you have drawers and
stuff in the way.

Also consider the Lee Valley bench Wonder Dog or Wonder Pup clamps. They
work from the top if the underside of the bench is not easily accessible.
They are a horizontal clamp, not a hold down like the Jorgies..

They do make a hold down but is more expensive.
