Those Bessy’s are nice, and hopefully the price will come down a little bit.
Thanks Steve.

It is amazing to be able to clamp 11/16, 3/4, 1 inch, and 1 3/4 thick parts with the same clamp. We made a jig out of 3/4 ply and put a 3 inch plywood strip down one edge as a fence. Use 4 1 1/4″ coarse pocket hole screws to mount the clamps on top of the fence. Holds a part very stable while you work and fast change to the next part even if it is a very different thickness. The clamping force is adjustable. Watch out for the swivel foot getting tilted sideways before you clamp, it can leave a dent in your wood.
