Posted this for those who don't want to spend $30-$40 on a C -D charger that is reliable and uses those C-D things seldom. I thought about those big Maglites but knew anyone who had those wouldn't do this. I had a AA charger (Amazon) which was worthless. Anyone have a recommendation for one that is ...

This is not common with older clamps but just happened to this 40 year old. I know someone here has a simple fix.

I haven't seen this posted so I'll add it. I've cut a lot of plexiglass (?), the easy-melt stuff and use a 7" blade installed backward and run it as slowly as it will go. Takes several passes, raising the table in tiny increments with each pass. It is time consuming but works. My experience is ...
