May 3, 20197 yr Looking to buy some universal fence clamps. They look pretty much the same. Looking for brand recommendations. Thank You.
May 3, 20197 yr Mine are powertec. IIRC, they came from Amazon. As you say, online, they all look about the same. Edited May 3, 20197 yr by Gene Howe
May 3, 20197 yr As with Gene, I usually shop online, check prices and read the customer reviews. Then when I find what I like I search for it locally. I almost always buy local. Edited May 3, 20197 yr by CharlieL
May 4, 20197 yr Lew, here are the Powertecs. I can't figger out how yours do the same task. Edited May 4, 20197 yr by Gene Howe

The first picture shows the ones that fit over the ends of the fence (2 of these) the second picture is the one that fits over the center of the fence. They are custom sized to work on my Vega fence. Also, the aux. fence is quite tall so they attach thru the aux. fence

May 4, 20197 yr I have a couple that look just like those pictured in Gene's post, except the're painted blue. Mine were purchased from Rockler .

At less than $10 a set, these were a good buy. But, without some modification of the attaching aux. board, they wouldn't work for a high fence. My use is to hold aux. boards to bury my dado blades or rip blade, for jointing edges.
