Today in the shop (Kreg to MFT/3)

Post by reible »

Using some free shipping offer from Lee Valley I picked up the cool adapter that allows me to use a Kreg clamp on a 20mm hole system table. They have them for 3/4" holes as well.

The idea is that if you already own Kreg clamps of this type why buy another clamp just to use on your table? So without farther explaining lets look at the parts I have.

The clamp is one of a few that I own from Kreg. The t-wrench is also existing hardware. The new parts are what adapt it to in my case 20mm mounting. Also check out my new back ground color sheets for taking pictures.

When you put it together it looks like this:

I only got one to see how I like it. It came in a couple of days ago but it has been too hot to deal with checking it out. Not much better today but I got to it anyway.

You see it mounted to one of the newer self adjusting clamps but it should work with the older versions as well. I have not verified that.
