Mystery Clamp - Anyone know where I can get more?

[Doug N]

Hi all,

I have a nice little clamp (pic attached hopefully) that is handy for all sorts of things - particularly fixing an auxillary fence to my band saw. I don't remember where I got it but have a vague recollection it may have come off an office pencil sharpener. Unfortunately I just have this one but would like to get a few more as I can see all sorts of possibilities for them - corner clamps spring to mind.

Does anyone know a:- what it's called, and b:- where I could purchase something similar?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Doug

Wouldn't be hard to manufacture a few of those, if you can't find any to buy.

I have some of these, not quite the same but would perform a similar function. Mine are branded Benchdogs but they don't seem to do them any more.

You could make some of those very easily from threaded rod.

Looks like it came from a desk lamp perhaps an anglepoise lamp.

I think you'd save time and money just making some up from threaded bar.

that said, are these any good?

I agree with the anglepoise....I have one on the base of a magnifying lamp.

£9 each from Ikea and they come with a free lamp

Cut one of these in half to make two.

Looks exactly like the clamp from my pasta machine

I have one buried in my what not drawer. Came of a table/bench lamp. Ditched the lamp when it expired, and kept the clamp as a come--in-handy. Which it frequently does.

Simply put "fence clamp" in e bay search box. Loads to choose from

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.

I have gone with a car roof box mounting kit from Amazon which has 8 square U-bolts, so cut in half will make 16 pieces. Half an hour with a hack saw and file and I've got 16 clamps for £18 - a lot cheaper than ready mades and will be just as effective. I'll post a pic when I've done them as they are really handy for all sorts of jobs.

BTW pcb1962 - I think you've hit the nail on the head as that look exactly like what I've got.

Regards

Doug
