lv2wdwrk,
I have a set that was in the box of stuff that came with my 1962 Model 500. They are functional somewhat but clumsey to use, and limited in applications. With all of the great clamping tools and accessories now available, I seldom remember that I have a set. However, they are from Shopsmith and the box looks good on the shelf with other Shopsmith accessories. Since you can never have enough clamps, there are times when they can be useful (if you remember them). John

John, do you or any one else have pictures of these clamps in use? The pictures on eBay only show the parts.

I have an ad (from 1982?) that includes photos of several uses of the clamps. I was going to email them to you, but can't figure out how to add an attachment to a SS email.
