Thread: Sturdee Hold Downs

Another great post Peter.

To any publishers out there, would someone give this man a book-deal.

Thanks for the ideas as well as the practical how to on all of your great jigs and devices.

Cheers,
Tim

Hi Sturdee and others )

FYI The Cornall company has a good selection of knobs and many other useful fittings/fixtures. The only down side (if you can call it that) is they have a $50.00 minimum order. This is not hard to reach when you see the range of "stuff" you can buy at excellent prices.

They do have a web site, however this is minimal. The best thing to do is to request a catalogue and work from that. Their catalogue is quite large and is only a photocopy so some of the "images" are less than perfect though still very useful.

You can buy the 5 point star knob - great for jigs etc - for 0.68c each. (20x for $13.64)

regards

Peter

Hi Don

If you type in The Cornall Company into Yahoo it will come up with a link. But as the man says not much of a website but it does give the addresses in each state.

Google works too

There is another down side to dealing with this company and that is (at least in Melbourne) they will not deal with you UNLESS you are trade.

Prior to developing my own Sturdee Knobs this was one of the companies I went to see about knobs and I was told politely, but firmly, that they do not sell to the general public but that I could order from their range through Bunnings( which would ofcourse include their mark up on small orders).

In any case the knobs I now use cost zilch, as I use discarded timber and the nut comes with the bolts I use.
