very interesting curt thank you I understand now how it works. your other idea with the pieces of bandsaw blade how does that go with leaving marks in the job edges and how do you hold the blades from moving in the reset slot or do they hold ok instead of bandsaw blades how would sand paper go glued to the edge of the rails

Bill I do like those cam clamps but Tim is correct you DO loose a lot of room using those kind of clamps, (even Legacy's cam clamps) Because of this reason, I like to use a wedge clamping type of hold downs,when Im working on my flat work on the Legacy. Its realy very simple to make and use. Just glue and screw down a wooden straight edge on one side of your flat bed. then drill a number of holes for an adjustable edge,(like you would do for a bench dog.) and make another rail that can fit into the holes that you just made. The over all goal is to get the two rails close enough to the work piece, so that you can use a sets of wooden shims to wedge the work piece in place. I've made two different types of of this method over the years. One uses two groves, so the straight edge can slide into place before wedging. and the other uses an old band saw blade re-set into both edges to the wood rails. the saw blade teeth are going to opposite directions so the wood is not only wedged into place but the teeth also hold the wood firmly. I will see if I can find pictures of these board set ups. But I need to go now. have a good night.

They are pretty low profile. -Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Bulkeley To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, January 17, 2011 4:35 PM Subject: clamps I was surfing the net last night and came across these might be useful on the legacy what do you guys think I'm not sure if any one has found these before or not but have another look and tell me what you all think http://www.veritastools.com/Products/Page.aspx?p=512 Bill -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
