Thanks Lee, But Upscale had the right ones, "kerf Keepers".
I wanted to be able to support both sides of a long cutoff and
to keep them from closing up when being cut, I saw plans for
making some out of a couple pieces of flat metal hangers but
if I can find these I'd be a lot happier


There appears to be a set of three Jorgensen "Kerfkeepers" up on ebay
at the moment
http://cgi.ebay.com/Lot-of-3-PONY-%2...16106008r24841.

If that link doesn't work just go to ebay and search on "kerfkeepers".
Right now they're at about 20 bucks for the three with three days to
go.

Not sure if this is what you are talking about, but it performs
basically the same function.

One thing to check on if you're buying used and pick them up in person. Make
sure the vertical part that's welded to the bottom piece isn't about to
break off. They're the weakest part of the assembly. The two I have never
reached that point, but I did notice how easily the vertical parts would
bend where they were welded on. Repeated unintentional bending would weaken
that area to the point of separating.

I will keep that in mind if I can find a set to look at first, I
emailed Jorgenson and they
said they had not made them in about 15 years or longer, They also did
not know of
anyone making anything similar. I'm trying to get a set used now, If
not, I will make something
that will work
