Questions & Answers
1/4-inch tracks and accessories are used throughout the incra system. I'm not aware of any incra gear that uses 5/16. Actually, it's a pity. I understand that 1/4 is sufficient, but 5/16 appears to be much more substantial.
It has a rating of 3 out of 5 stars. It's a 5 inch (90mm) x 1/4 inch (6mm) bolt with a long or short end. When used with the long end down, it can reach a maximum height of about 3 feet. 5 inches.
Yes, it is compatible with the Incra t-shirt. It also fits the dual miter/t-slot miter/t-slot miter/t-slot miter/t-slot miter/t-slot miter/t-slot miter/t-slot mit in addition to that I've never seen a one-inch track before, but it wouldn't fit. No adaptors are included in the package.
I've purchased four of these at various times, and each one has included the bolt. Knob with a star.
Selected User Reviews For INCRA Build-It Hold Down Clamp
Another verified buyer checked these out on August 9, 2013. That review does a much better job of describing the burrs and shoddy workmanship than I can at the moment (I'm still irritated). They've only been here since yesterday afternoon). br>br>I purchased four of these and regret not reading the review first; there are other clamps available. The Incra T-shirt is one of two that I own. I already own a set of rulers and a protractor, so I had no reservations about purchasing these clamps. br>br>Come on, guys, you can't even deburr your own work after almost 5 years? "The point is that I expect a quality finish and ready-to-use product," according to a 2013 review. This item was supposed to be a go product, but it didn't deliver. "br>br>Dear Incra,br>Please contact me through Amazon to schedule a visit from a member of your quality assurance management team. Instruct them to bring only small files. They'll need them to deal with the burrs. I'll provide coffee; they should bring their own donuts. br> You can't rely on your higher-quality products' reputation indefinitely. br>Sincerely, br>Disgruntled Customer.
I ordered some and used them to make my own; they work great and will hold your lumber in place much better than other options I've tried. These are something I would strongly suggest.
Man, I wish INCRA products were a little less expensive. What you pay for, however, is what you get. This is a hold- down is a fantastic film. It's something I keep in my back pocket. My table's fence- a sled for holding a saw items that will be cut br>br>I've never had a bad experience with anything I've bought from Incra, and this is no exception. These guys are experts in their field.
For my Woodpeckers drill press table, I purchased two of these clamps. They function properly, and all of the components are of good quality. Some people have complained about the plastic knobs with pressed-in pressed-in pressed-in pressed-in pressed-in Yes, an all-metal knob would be better, but it would undoubtedly increase the price of this product. I see no reason why these knobs shouldn't last indefinitely unless: 2 faulty knobs They are subjected to an excessive amount of torque. Mine appear to be well-made, and they have served me well thus far. Should you ever need replacement knobs, they're inexpensive. I'm thinking about using wing-tips. The bolts are my only gripe. Unlike other reviewers, I find the included bolts to be enough to clamp 95% of any material I'd ever need to drill. Of course, if you frequently work with material that is extremely thick or irregularly shaped, you may be forced to purchase longer bolts from your local home center. The issue, however, is with the bolt heads, which are "hex" shaped rather than "T" shaped. As a result, they move through my T-shaped room. They don't run as smoothly as they used to, and they can get stuck at times. It's a minor annoyance, but it's still annoying. the- less.
The area where the cylinder nut sits on mine had large burs. The bursts were so severe that the cylinder refused to slide in. It worked fine once it was deburred, but what good is a nice red anodized surface if I have to FILE IT DOWN? br>br>I used to work in a machine shop, and this kind of shoddy machining is simply unacceptable. The bur protruded 1/4 inch into the nut space, indicating that it was not simply overlooked, but deliberately overlooked! Because it was anodized on top of the bur, there were obviously additional processing steps where this could have been detected. "Just let the customer file it down" isn't the right attitude, especially when the problem can be easily corrected inside a CNC or manually filed at the factory for an extra 30 seconds of work. INCRA has a lot of good press, but I'm not sure I can trust a company with such a shoddy finish. I'm undecided about trying other INCRA products. (br>br>If it had been a purely cosmetic flaw, I might have overlooked it, but the cylinder would not slide in, so it was a functional defect. To their credit, it worked fine after I filed it down, and it took me only 60 seconds to file it down and fix the problem. Anyone who purchases a "build it" hold down clamp is obviously skilled with tools and has the necessary equipment to correct machining flaws. The point is that I expect a high-quality finish and a finished product that is ready to use. This item was supposed to be a go product, but it didn't deliver. So, despite the fact that it took me only 60 seconds to fix it, I'm chastising them for delivering a defective product. br>br>UPDATE: br>br> Other INCRA products, such as their marking rule, have since been purchased by me.
If they had a good quality control process, this would be a five-star item. The cutout for the barrel nut has burrs that must be filled in before the nut can slide into the slot. The red anodizing is removed in this way. I'd think a company that makes high-end table saw and woodworking products would be able to keep this under control. This is a good, useful product that does exactly what it says on the tin. However, because this is a well-known flaw, I don't anticipate having to file off the anodizing.
Put on your best Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonation and say: Things are clamped and held in place by me. Having this clamp to hold things down is nice, if a little pricey, because I installed an Incra slot in my workbench. br>br>I will need to get some longer bolts because it appears that I will need a larger clamp than the default screw allows. I also tried using these on my radial arm saw, but the bolt is far too short (I have to run the bolt all the way through the tables, no sliding slot in the saw table, because I'd probably cut through it by accident someday).
This is a fantastic approach. It's extremely well-made and sturdy. I had to remove a burr and an upset corner where the pivot pin had to be inserted, but other than that, it's fantastic. When clamping a good piece, a spacer block should be used because clamping pressure can easily dent the wood. I had no idea it was meant for a T-shirt. The bolt head has a slot extrusion that is the same width as the bolt head. I needed it for my drill press, so I added a couple of 1/4 x 1 fender washers to the bolt, and it worked perfectly. I only bought one to test it out, but I'll be ordering another or even more.
