Post by: EDNY on February 10, 2015, 10:12:41 AM

Looking for a source to purchase a couple of these clamps, not really sure what the proper description is.

Ed I found several sites with the Irwin Vise-Grip like in your pic. Sounds like they maybe custom built?  I did find Big Horn locking drill press clamps for sale on e'bay @ $24.27 ea.free ship. Part #19630. I personally would rather have the Vise'Grip brand. I couldn't navigate the Irwin web site with my phone, maybe you could contact them with your pic to see if they are available?

1st pic Vise-grip- 2nd pic is of the Big Horn pair.

I have that exact one in the bottom picture (Big Horn)...no brand name on it but seems to be of good quality and sure would like a couple more.

I'm with you on the Vise-Grip brand....but in this case the Big Horn I have works really well.

Thanks

I bought mine from BUSY BEE TOOLS here in Canada.  They are meant as the picture shows for use with drill presses.

they were very in expensive .  Got busy bee catalogue will poke around and see what I can find.  Nothing listed in printed catalogue maybe on their website ? Pretty sure I have 3 different sizes of them.

How about HARBOR FREIGHT, they are similar products

Ed   the part number for the picture you posted is 11HD made by vise grip. I'm not sure if they still produce them.

Thanks guys...once I learned that they are called "drill press clamps" they started showing up on my searches. Need a couple more because they are really handy - my welding table has the mounting holes.

AT FIRST I THOUGHT MUST BE SOME SELLER SMOKING WACKY TABACY IN COLORADO, THEN SAW SELLER WAS IN OREGON.  HE WILL TAKE THOSE TO THE GRAVE WITH HIMSELF.  LOTS ON EBAY AROUND THE $15 PRICE.
