It’s show #471 For May 20th, 2020, and today we are talking about work holding. Vises, holdfasts, clamps and whatever else you use to hold stuff while you work on it.
- They have vises for your workbench. Including the Heavy Duty Quick Release Front Vise which is on sale for $60 off.
- They have all the clamps! Including parallel clamps, pipe clamps, bar clamps, f-style clamps, corner clamps, specialty clamps and more. Lots of clamps are on sale in May including pipe clamps, f-style clamps, wooden handscrew clamps, and our drawer front installation clamps.
- They have Bench Cookie work grippers – High-friction rubber pads hold your project rock-steady while sawing, sanding, or routing without the use of clamps. Plus they include a threaded insert for adding a variety of accessories, that elevate your work and provide plenty of clearance for all your project needs. A 4 pack of bench cookies is on sale for $7.99 this month
Just go to Rockler.com to find these and many more products.
