Does anyone know if this clamp would work on the BT3100 without much modification. Seems like a quick and clean way to set up a featherboard...and maybe other stuff.

They look interesting, but I can't find any reviews.- David

Pro Grip clamps used to me marketed by The Woodworker's Choice before they went out of business. Woodline USA carries them now.
I bought some a few years ago. They are very handy as straight guides, and I like using them for panel glue-ups.
I just did a quick test, and they will clamp to the BT3X table top as well as the SMT.
If you have a specific configuration in mind, let me know. I could cobble something together. I am away for this weekend, though.BrianComment

Thanks Knuckles.
I was just wondering about how it lined up with the saw table top when clamped onto the rails. Could it be used for a featherboard setup or possibly a miter slot?
Actually, if it could be set up for a miter slot then I have featherboards that fit into a miter slot.Why doesn't the word 'planing' show up in my computer spell check?Comment

It wouldn't be flush with the table top if you clamp it to the rails. The clamping pads are only about one-half inch deep. It does clamp to the table top just fine.
I don't think it would function the way you would want. You'd be further along, in my opinion, making a table insert or purchasing the OEM miter slot accessory.
Give me until Monday evening, and I can shoot a few photos to illustrate what I mean, if you'd like.Last edited by Brian G; 11-17-2006, 10:31 PM. Reason: Edit for nudity, adult language, and poor penmanshipBrianComment

Yes, something like that does work.

I used the "All in one clamp" and their featherboard.
