Armor Auto Clamps for the Paulk Smart Benches

[johnlowry]

A little info on dog holes.Go with the 2omm holes Then have a sleeve made to reduce it to 3/4". Now you have the best of both worlds of 3/4" & 20mm dog holes just with a sleeve

They need to marry the TSO Power-Loc dog tightening mechanism with the tall clamp. I think the angle of the clamp in the hole will distort the hole over time and make the bench dogs sloppy.

I have those in the craftsman brand I bought from Sears along time ago. I bought a bunch of both types and have never used them.

I have these in red. I really like the vertical clamp. I think the festoon in-line clamp is better than the armor in-line clamp.

I agree with Mike, I have used these clamps and I stopped because I noticed the holes getting stretched out and deformed

Hi Ron,
You have a great amount of information that is vastly useful to some silver-haired troglodyte career mechanical-structural engineer, needing to stand on the shoulders of folks like you... to get my house built inside & out, with these two hands... here in the Republic of S. Texas... hill-country, very wild.

QUESTION -please- about dog-hole clamps;
Many a MFT tops appear to be 3/4" thick.
Too thick a MFT top, the 90-deg. bend of those dog-hole clamps will not negotiate the hole depth (table thickness).
Do you know if a 1" thick MFT top will accommodate most of the popular dog-hole clamps?
Or, what over 3/4" is the general maximum (useable) thickness?
-
One DIY video shows a home-built MFT that began with two (2) sheets of 3/4" plywood glued together for the table top... making it more than an inch thick, ... with many dog holes in it.
Got me wondering.
Thanks!

Can’t get Canusa premcore plus in the SF bay area.

Hi Ron. I was interested in building my workshop trailer using your plans where the miter saw is mounted along the bench and the dividers are on each side of the saw. I can't find a site that will allow me to view that particular combination, so I'm sure I buy the correct plan. Any help or link would be appreciated. Thanks.
