Great ideas. Though I have had to make several quick adjusting clamps into standard clamps, the mechanism to quick adjust on the HF clamps isn’t very good.
Thanks. Hmm interesting I've yet to have any issues with them. But then again I'm not putting a ton of clamping force on them when clamping down parts. Only just enough to hold them in place from moving when I weld.
@@RathaSochenda I wasn’t putting much pressure on the clamp either. It’s just how it goes sometimes with HF. I used hardwire to weld up the tooth piece and it works fine. I believe they are just cast steel. Good clamps for cutting and welding as you have done here.
Is there a reason you did not drill a 5/8 hole into quick release housing and plug weld the 5/8 rod into the hole? In that way you would have no weld on the outside of the clamp and it would ride still closer to the fixture table.
He trimmed the casting as close as possible to the housing button, so the clamp would sit as close to the bench surface as possible. Was there enough metal in the housing to drill a relief into it?
@@RathaSochenda thank you for your reply. I have a different brand of quick release on the way. Maybe I’ll get lucky and have more meat in that area, or maybe I’ll be able to thread it 5/8-18 NF with some red thread locker.

Nice 👍 job
Never seize to amaze me in the quality of your content! Keep ‘em coming!
I appreciate that!
Great design and execution! Thanks!
Thanks
Great work man 👍🏼
🙏🏽
Nice work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Great Video! adding two so you can clamp on an angle is a great idea.
Thanks!
Sweet simple design!
simple and effective!
Great. Job brother,
Very nicely done, my friend! I love the added features!!!
Thanks!
Practical and effective
Hi friend, thanks for the video! You have a very high-quality picture, tell me which camera you are shooting with. Thank you.

Ingenious brother
Thanks!
Thanks for showing your skills my question does the clamp rod goes in to the table does hit your dust pan
I made the just long enough to clear the dust pan.
Nice little side project
👍
Nice
Thanks David!
@6:08 is genius.
🙏🏽

Yeah I know what you mean with HF stuff. I’m glad you were able to find a solution 👍🏾

Not enough material to clear the internals of the quick release components
