Obtaining the extension will allow you to make 100 dollars. It's essentially the track, but with a joining adapter instead of the trigger.
Hello, there isn't a storage bag to be found.
Not that I'm aware of.
There isn't a specific router adapter that I'm aware of (at least not that I'm aware of). Simply place your router base against the clamps' straight edge, as you would with any other router base guide.

" I have a couple of old guide clamps that are pretty much useless. They require additional clamps to keep them in place and have metal clamping impediments that prevent a saw from cutting through them. That nonsense was getting on my nerves. Nothing is more irritating than a guide clamp "wandering" in the middle of a $350 door cut. br>br>This clamp set is exceptionally well made, has aggressive clamping force, and leaves no marks, even in yellow pine, and arrived just in time for a job I had where I had to install six heavy, solid core prehung doors. This included tight tolerance cut lines on 6 panel solid core yellow pine doors, which these clamps handled admirably. br>br>The photo shows the Pro Grip edge clamp on the left hand side, with the yellow arrow indicating the locking handle, which, as you can see, is out of the way when flipped down to lock. On the top of the ProGrip model is a very useful tape measure. The locking handle, indicated by the black arrow, blocks the board if you are making a cut on my older models, which I purchased years ago on the right side. It's a thorny situation - The Pro Grip is a huge step forward! br>br>I hope this information is useful!.
Unlike fancy table saws or Festool rigs, this is a much more affordable option. I was able to make 42 inch cuts within 1/64" for cabinet making using a 4'X8' plywood worktable on sawhorses and scrap blocking under the stock using a 4'X8' plywood worktable on sawhorses and scrap blocking under the stock using a 4'X8' plywood worktable on sawhorses and scrap blocking under the stock using a 4'X8' plywood worktable on sawhorses and scrap blocking under the stock using a 4'X8' It's practical to have three sizes. I've used similar tools from other companies, but these are by far the best. These are well-made, sturdy, and have a powerful clamping force.
But it's been a game-changer and a differentiator. The product is sturdy and well-designed, as well as simple to operate. br>br>It's a minor niggle, but it's easily remedied. The fence has a powderblast feel to it, which made it feel like there was blade resistance or that the blade was dulling, especially on longer cuts with the 50". However, it was easily fixed by sanding it with 1000 grit wet sandpaper, which removed the roughness and made it much easier for the shoes to slide on. It only took a few hand passes, so no worries, but it's worth mentioning as something to try right away.
I've only used it a few times so far, but I'm very pleased with it. It's simple to apply and stays put for a long time. For those really long boards I occasionally end up working with, I wish they made one that was 8 feet long and longer. br>br>When the item arrived in the mail, it was well-packaged on the inside. This is something that not all sellers do well, but these people did. They didn't go overboard, but the product was well-protected (a main box, then each product in its own box with some padding) to prevent damage from mail service mishandling, and my package arrived in good condition. br>br>It is well-made and has a solid feel to it. I intend to use this product for a long time.
After purchasing these, I recently received a set. I used to have a Bora 50" WTX Bar Clamp, but the ProGrip is much better. They have a certain weight to them that the Bora lacked. Depending on your needs, the locking mechanism offers three levels of security. I also like how the lock handle is smaller than the Bora's. I was cutting plywood on the ground on top of foam board, but there wasn't enough clearance between the material and the ground for the WTX clamp to get a good lock on the plywood, so I had to elevate the work piece. I strongly recommend it. If you're looking for a well-made straight edge clamp, this set is for you.
This clamp/straight edge set provides excellent value. Instead of a single full-length straight edge guide, you get three different lengths, which is ideal for working on jobs of various sizes. To cut a full ply board sheet crosswise, I used the longest. And the tiniest was used to make some drawer faces. It's very sturdy, string, and the measurements are accurate. You can also get the fittings to connect them together and use them as additional clamps to hold down glued pieces. I'm glad I went with the three-piece set because it fits me perfectly.
These were purchased for a specific project, but I now use them for everything. The larger one will fit across a 4x8 piece of plywood and serve as a skil saw edge guide.
They lock down tight if you start with them snug; my only issue is that one of them doesn't hold tension very well, so I have to tighten it every time; it's not a big deal, but when you get everything lined up, check it, and then realize the right side has moved, it's a pain. However, I would purchase them again.
