Gino Development 02-0667 TruePower Drill Press Locking Clamp, 9"

The media could not be loaded. The clamps work like a charm. They are made well, excellent quality, and work! If you ever have has a part take off on you on a drill press, you will appreciate these clamps

This is a very useful and easy to adjust hold-down device for light machine work such as drilling small holes in larger flat items. It would not do for heavier machining or where the force tends to push the work in a particular direction, such as when using an end mill. It's main advantage is that it is quick. For very small pieces a machine vise or clamps are necessary.

Someone asked about attaching to a drill table using T-nuts... I'm not really sure how you would use this with a T-Nut. The round object you see IS the nut, and you need to be able to rotate it to tighten and loosen the clamp to the drill table from below. Separately, you adjust the clamp itself (like a pair of vise-grip pliers) to clamp object above.Coming from the bottom of the clamp is what appears to be an M12 x 1.75mm threaded stud about 38mm long (it measures 0.450" OD ~ 11.43mm, and the threads measure correct for 1.75 mm/thread). I'm pretty sure it is not an inch thread as it isn't close to anything either UNC or UNF.The stud is fixed to the clamp, i.e. it does not turn by itself. Tightening is done by turning the round part. There would be no way to tighten a T-nut. I suppose you could use a nut and washers instead, but this actually works quite well. (correction- I guess you COULD tighten to a T-Nut by rotating the entire clamp. But that seems to me to not be desirable as things will often be in the way)My drill table has "X" slots that are about 0.58 wide. This works just fine with them.Well worth it!

Most of the time I'm using my drill press to drill holes in wooden planks with forstner bits. Before I purchased these clamps I was just using small bar clamps (all I had at the time) which needless to say wasted a lot of time. These clamps have sped up my production time immensely.I've had other harbor freight quality, vice grip style pliers/clamps before so we'll see with time if they hold up. For $11/each I'm not going to complain if they don't last forever. I'm using them on a $45 HF drill press after all.

Works well on my drill press.

Use with drill press, on portable bandsaw table, welding table. Handy tool!

I'm giving this a 3-star review, although 3-1/2-stars is more accurate. If you understand the design limits, this is a decent clamp.1. Reasonably strong design, keeping in mind that this is essentially a Vise-grip-style plier. By design, this is not a heavy duty clamping device.2. Fixing bolt will work with table thickness of 7/8" or less. This might not work with all drill press tables. I separately purchased a 4-prong knob for use in one corner of my drill press. I use this primarily on a portable work table.3. This will hold down material with a minimum 3/8" thickness. For thin sheet stock, you need to have another piece between the hold-down point and the material.4. 1-star deduct for value. I bought a two-pack - from another supplier - for only 25% more. The clamps were physically identical.

Used on my small drill press table.
