Available many other places also.

Now there is a better version by Microjig called the dovetail clamp. It allows you to clamp an aux fence of any height or pretty much any other fence or jig without regard to width.

I have a set and they are great. Much more versatile than the Universal fence clamp. Well worth the price.

Which picture? Since a lot of things are made in China in the same factory and are branded for the retailer who is to say whose version it is? The Microjig is brand new.

Zoom in on the opening post picture and read the top of the clamp. I know it's blurry.

OK but you posted the Bench Dog one hence the question. I still stand by my previous post. :)

Ok, but it was a universal fence clamp. Like you said, coulda been made in China and rebranded. It was like the one in the picture that was posted. It was not a dovetail clamp.

I own 2 sets of these as they work for a lot of things other then just clamping to a fence..........

When you visit the rockler site look for the related articles for more ideas.

These go on sale often so if you can wait..... and plan a few other purchases to reach the $35 you need for free shipping.

A little issue if you have the 520 pro fence, the t-slot matches the clamp location so you have to add a strip to the back side so you can tighten the clamp properly over the slot.

I know I've talked about them before somewhere here????
