Material Handling: Rockler Auto-Lock T-Track Clamp
 |
 |
Rockler Woodworking and Hardware has introduced the Auto-Lock T-Track Clamp, a newly engineered accessory for the Rockler T-Track Table and any other device with a T-Track that accepts 5/16" T-bolts.
The clamp slides into the T-Track and locks in perpendicular, in-line, and 45° positions. The clamp arm slides until the clamp face is against the workpiece, then locks into place once the top lever is depressed.
The clamp's sliding and locking mechanism provides instant adjustment and clamping, saving woodworkers time versus using traditional clamps and hold downs.
"The Auto-Lock T-Track Clamp is a giant leap forward in work holding," says Steve Krohmer, Rockler's Vice President of Product Marketing. "It saves lots of time, as the clamp position and pressure adjust in seconds, and then the clamp locks in place with a simple push of the lever."
The Auto-Lock T-Track Clamp features a T-Bolt on its underside which slides into any T-Track that accepts 5/16'' T-bolts, including the Rockler T-Track Table (46654, sold separately) and many CNC Shark tables (e.g. 54900). The bottom-mounted alignment pins can be repositioned at 45° (using a flathead screwdriver) to add clamping options beyond 0 and 90°. An optional Mounting Bracket (57940) is available for securing the clamp to shop-made jigs and fixtures.
The Auto-Lock T-Track Clamps (58616) retail for $29.99 each and the optional Mounting Bracket (57940) retails for $9.99.
