I don't know what to call these
 

Reading the thread about compound sliding mitre saws, Roger mills wrote
that he mounted his to a piece of kitchen work top. I don't want mine to
be mounted with nuts and bolts, but there are over centre
levers/fasteners that would allow quick fastening and release. Anyone
know where I can find some with about a 10 mm screw thread? Or do I have
to make my own?

Have a look here under vices, etc: http://www.axminster.co.uk

If you don't see exactly what you want you might get some ideas for making
your own. You can also use G-clamps or similar although not strictly quick
release.

The feet of the mitre saw in question have sloping upper surfaces - so it's
very difficult clamp it firmly to a surface using G-clamps or similar. You
could screw it to a couple of strips of wood, and clamp *those* to a surface
with G-clamps or quick-release bar clamps.

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but Screwfix do "Workbench Clamps"

Is that the sort of thing you mean?

Ta for the suggestion - very useful method. Are these the things on this
page?

Sorry, I can't comment because the page you reference only shows a nearly
blank page. Try a quick browse through vices, etc. as I suggested.

Toggle clamps.
Axminster type B are most likely to suit but I doubt they will have a
10mm thread.

try http://uk.rs-online.com/web/ for industrial sizes clamps that might
go up to 10mm

One there rated at 250kg! Four of those should hold even an angle grinder.

If you can't find that, rather than nuts and bolts, I've used prong-tees
and wing-bolts (wing-screws/thumb-screws) to fasten things to my
workmate. The prong tees stay attached, and the wing bolts don't take
long to twiddle in and tighten.

I got some of them from here

I think.
