Milescraft 4009 Fence Clamps - 2 pack Universal Clamps with 3/8" Rod for Table Saws, Mitre Saws, Router Tables and Clamping Squares

These fence clamps are terrific. I can use them to hold a sacrificial fence on my table saw, and I also use them to attach my Bow fence extender to my original table saw fence. They are easy to set up and use. They have a lot of adjustable room and they are solid. Best of all is the pad on the clamping head so this won't damage the saw fence. They are less expensive than other brands too. I am very happy with these and I would buy them again.

These two items do a great job of holding a sacrificial fence on my table saw. Price was most reasonable too.

Bought to hold a 1" thick wood board to a table saw fence. The board sits against the fence, and the Milescraft fenceclamp inserts into holes in the top of the board and clamps to the fence.Adjustability is good, plenty of adjustment range from the end threaded angle rod and the adjustment thumbscrew component. Should work with most fences.What was disappointing is that the angle rod is about 91-92 degrees (obtuse)-- so that when inserted in a 3/8" drill hole in the wooden board and tightened, the board is tight at the top of the fence and has a gap at the bottom [the board was jointed and planed, with the holes drilled using a drill press, so the board and holes are accurate]. A proper design is to be slightly acute (88-89 degrees) so that tightening flattens the angle rod against the wood. I had to add a few turns of aluminum tape around the end of the angled rod, making the end "thicker" and the angle "smaller", to make up for the too large angle, allowing the clamp to press the wood against the fence properly (flat).This slight angle issue might not be a problem for many applications, but is not acceptable for holding a board to a fence. The manufacturing process needs to be changed to correct the angle of the "90 degree" threaded rod to be acute 88-89 after stress relieving. My observation on the angle is not a one-off, I have 4 of these Milescraft clamps and they are all the same obtuse angle-- good consistent manufacturing at least.For other reasons I eventually changed to 46" Bow XTENDER and MATCHFIT/Microjig clamp-- a far more costly option.

Purchased to make and secure my sacrificial fence on my table saw to protect and prolong the life of my gear driven fence. Perfect for the purpose, good quality, works as advertised. As an owner of many Milescraft woodworking tools, I always look to this brand first and foremost when in need of affordable, good quality shop tools. I recommend these clamps without question.

SURE BEATS TRYING TO HOLD WITH A SPRING CAMP.

These clamps are easy to use and sturdy construction.

These will work gr8 on my sliding compound miter saw. No longer cutting by eye for repeat cuts!!

Does not fit a Craftsman fence.
