Thread: Blue bench fast?

Carbatec sell them
This is their bench hold down range http://www.carbatec.com.au/clamps-vises_c60

and the one you have pictured is http://www.carbatec.com.au/carba-tec...old-down_c7820

Thanks for reply but that is not same as it bolts to bench and the one Im after actually has a sleeve insert to go in the bench and hold fast slides in insert. Which allows quick set up when needed

Bob the one in your picture is a Record one , not sure if anyone has a similar one available.

Thanks for help gents I have located them at couple sites but are not cheap, particularly if you are looking at a 20+ for a classroom.

Kreg have a bench clamp system, page 167 of the 2010 Carbatec catalog. Certainly not cheap but I don't think, from your original pix that you will find anything that is cheap enough to stand up to a class situation. At least the Kreg system can be collected at the end of the day and secured away, you also have the option of buying extra mounting plates to make the system more versatile. Not sure if C'Tec is open to a good type of discount for a bulk buy.

Had a look at the ones you found and the Kreg system is approx $100 - $130 cheaper per unit depending on what version you are looking at.

Not sure if this helps you out but it just gives you another option.

Regards,
Bob

What about the Veritas surface clamp?



Requires a 3/4" hole.

geez they're expensive. The Veritas hold downs function very well, but they too may be too expensive for you.

Have you tried Highland Woodworking? Looks like you got the picture from there, its the same one anyway. Do you have to buy from within Aus?
