The odd shape makes attaching to it problematic Those things are so high and thin at the top, that you could probably just use regular clamps to hold a sheet against it. -- -MIKE- "Playing is not something I do at night, it's my function in life" --Elvin Jones (1927-2004) -- http://mikedrums.com ---remove "DOT" ^^^^ to reply |

The problem is that they are also coved in. There is a thin lip, but it is thin enough that anchoring a clamp on it doesn't always work well. -- There is never a situation where having more rounds is a disadvantage Rob Leatham |

*"I need to figure out a way to make something like that work with my Unifence." Rob Leatham I made one using a block of wood and two cheap pistol grip clamps ($ 0.99 @ HFT). The next size up clamp might prove better for the (larger/ thicker) Uni-Fence. I like the PG Clamps as they aoffer a "quick release" button that, combined with the pistol grip clamping action, makes attaching and adjusting the SF a snap - as opposed to using "wing nuts" and the like. From what I can see of the video,the OP is taking a similar approach but using a "bolt-on clamp" to hold the SF to the blade side of the fence in the same manner my modified Pistol Grip Clamps employ (rod on clamp that slips into quarter-inch hole drilled into SF block). I'm on Dialup so YOU TUBE is impossibly slow. I have some pictures if anyone is interested - send me an e-mail. If anyone can tell me where to upload them for this group, I will try that. My approach requites fixing a quarter-inch steel rod/dowel to the end of the bar clamp after removng the "factory" end. Then, you slip the dowel end into the SF and the clamp over the saw fence and clamp in place. So simple a cave man could do it. http://s462.photobucket.com/albums/q...t=sacfence.gif The link, above, may work. Lemme know |

Thank you for sharing that with us. PS. Cutting those square u-hangers to make l-shapes is going to be solving all kinds of application-problems as hold-downs for my router. r |

I thought about getting a long bolt and putting the right angle in by cutting a notch, torching it, and bending, but then 4 bucks didn't seem so bad. :-) -- -MIKE- "Playing is not something I do at night, it's my function in life" --Elvin Jones (1927-2004) -- http://mikedrums.com ---remove "DOT" ^^^^ to reply |
