    Anybody Try These?

    Ran across this special from Rockler, on another forum. Looks like a good fix idea.

    With the slots on the back side of the BT3 fence, and the aluminum, you might need a wood disc/foot to span the slot and prevent damage. Does look like a good idea, though.

        I bought a pair in December. They work well for holding stops on both the TS and BS fence. They don't get in the way like "Quick Grip" clamps. Haven't used them for holding a sacrifical fence on the TS but they should work great for that. Worth the money? Yes. Can you do without them. Sure. Just another handy WW gadget. Pat

          I got them on sale (2 for $14), and use them for holding my sacrificial fence both on the TS and on the router, and for stops. very useful, and simple to use.

          There are times when nothing else would do - like needing an out-of-the-way clamp.

            Our compact, Universal Fence Clamps allow you to secure a variety of shop made auxiliary fences to your existing table top fences without having the clamp block your work. The clamp arm simply fits into a 3/8” hole in the top of the auxiliary fence, keeping the clamp out your way. That simply means no more cumbersome wood screws or C Clamps,
            and no need to screw into your expensive fence! Works great for table saws, band saws, cutoff saws, router fences. Clamps come in sets of 2.

                  I have two and use them, and like them, for holding a sacrificial fence and other jigs in position. Hand clamps would work as well, but these are less awkward and pretty much out of the way. Regards, Steve
