3 out of 5 stars Good, general clamp for large stock   November 10, 2006
This is a good clamp for large stock; it works well and is very easy to remove when not needed.

My two complaints: 1) it doesn't work well with small stock, since the clamp face sits slightly above the bed and the clamp screw is centered vertically on the face -- when clamping a smaller piece, the face tends to pivot (top forward) because the clamping pressure is too high, and 2) the clamp can become overtightened, and require extra effort to loosen after a cut it completed.

Otherwise, I find this clamp to be very useful for most of the cutting I do. It is also trivially easy to lift and remove the clamp when not needed, which I appreciate a LOT.



5 out of 5 stars Great addition to a nice miter saw   February 25, 2006

Overall, PERFECT! (Except the price...):
Works smoothly when clamping. I also really like the quick release function....operates smooth, and I don't have to unscrew a bunch of turns to use it on wider stock. I use it to clamp the piece being but, and more often, when I need to make a stop for repetitive cuts of the same length. Find it on an auction site at a great price ;)



5 out of 5 stars extremely well designed   June 27, 2005

This is a very well made clamp and is PERFECTLY designed. I wouldn't change a thing. Super easy to use, easily moves from one side to the other. Sometimes I use it to clamp the stock being cut. When cutting short pieces I use it to clamp an end stop into place. This item is priced rather high at the time I write this review. I was able to find a better price at auction somewhere on the web (you can guess where). Another reviewer said having 2 is a good thing. I could imagine having 2, but having 1 is enough for most purposes. They are pricey enough that the cost will keep me from getting a second one. Even at full price, though, it's worth it to buy one.


5 out of 5 stars Great accessory, absolutely necessary!   December 31, 2004

This clamp is something you really need with the DeWalt saw, as others have said. It keeps your fingers away from the blade while you're making a cut, and is really handy on long or short workpieces. I don't understand the 'pricey' comments some have left. . . compared to what? Where else are you going to get this, but from DeWalt? It's a custom accessory, designed specifically for the DeWalt saw, and it's not a high production run item, so naturally it's going to be 'pricey'!


5 out of 5 stars expensive but essential   July 17, 2003
  8 out of 8 found this review helpful

I bought two of them for my saw, right and left. I use them all the time. For precise and safe cuts, you need to have at least one of these to secure the workpiece against the fence. You can use your hands and still get it right (enough) 90% of the time, and safely 99% of the time, but why take chances with expensive wood and a limited number of fingers?? These clamps are expensive but very well built and the quick release really works the way it's supposed to.
