Thanks, Ed. It looks like those will solve my problem. Time to order.

I take it you got yours. I ordered on the 17th the same as you I think and have not gotten a shipping notice yet.

I did not get a shipping notice, it just arrived in the mail box. It looks like it shipped out of OH so I expect I'm a bit closer mail route wise being in IL. I think it was around 3:00 when I ordered mine so maybe that ended up being a day earlier then yours business wise?

Which reveals little re the dimensions of the clamp.

You were right. They came today. I am not sure I have the router bit they call for but that is no big deal. The thing that impresses me is that the screw threads are Acme. Certainly not necessary in a clamp like this but it speaks of quality and engineering excellence.

I haven't looked for a bit either. I might well have one, I know I have a 5/8 14 degree one that is still in the package, that is for another project.

If not then I'm sure I can get one before I even get around to a project. It is a common bit size and even the local Menard's store is likely to have one in stock.

They will fit in the 20mm hole but, well, it not what I had hoped for, it will need a pad to set nice and flat and not disturbed the table. Not a big deal.

It also will not slide fully into my t-track table, not that I expected it to but I tried anyway.
