I,ve had them since they first came out early-mid 80's use'm from time to time. great for squareing stuff,also you can push things out as well as pull'm in.Kinda like a shopsmith configure them for what ever need arises,also used them a while back for an adjustable throat hot wire foam cutter(made a new hot tub cover saved myself 100's over a new one).Takes some time getting used to but they work fine for me,but some say I'm simple minded, had to much fun in the seventies I guess.Ya'll behave& make us proud see'ya bye.

Would like to see them in action. If you have pix, please post so we can all be educated.

Also, if you wish to sell, please PM me. Thank you.

I have two set. If I ever start fishing in the river again I will use them as sinkers. For me they are a hassle as I incorporate other means to clamp/separate wood products.

I acquired 1 set along with the SS stuff I got several months ago.

Here's some of the setups in the maxi-clamp manual.

I think using these clamps take a little practice to master....even says so in the manual.
