Rockler Universal Fence Clamp Review
These compact, lightweight Fence Clamps allow you to secure a huge variety of shop-made auxiliary fences to your existing fences without having the clamp interfere with your work. The clamp arm simply fits into a 3/8" hole in the top of the auxiliary fence, keeping it out of the way. That means no more clunky wood screws and C-clamps and no need to screw into your expensive fence! Works great for table saws, band saws, cutoff saws, router fences and more. Clamps can be used singly as stop blocks, or in pairs for sacrificial fences, half-fences, resaw fences, and a variety of other fixtures. One set of clamps will do it all!
Ok, so that's Rockler's description of how they work. But the proof is really in putting them to work, and guess what? A simple elegant design that works! I can't guess how many times I have set up an auxiliary fence or stop and the clamp has either been in the way or moved slightly half way through repetitive cuts! I'm finding new ways these things are solving problems every day. I am already planning on picking up another set, for the price they are definately a worthwhile investment! I did find that a spacer was helpful for fence applications such as the photo, but really not a problem.
