Leigh Hold-Down Clamps
Ultra Strong and Super Versatile.
Leigh Bench and Surface Clamps provide exceptional holding power and that “extra hand” you need for many tasks in the shop. These patented clamps employ proven cam-action technology and are easy to use.
Leigh Bench Clamps provide exceptional holding power and that "extra hand" you need for many tasks in the shop. These clamps were designed to be used in the 3/4" bench dog holes found in most workbenches. The long 3/8" threaded rod and speed nut allow the clamp to be used in benches up to 4-1/4" thick.
Features
- Strong ZA12 alloy and glass-filled nylon clamps
- Clamps up to 3" thick boards
- Clamps mount on workbenches up to 4-1/4" thick
- Fits bench hole sizes from 7/16" (11mm) to 1-1/8" (30mm)
- Enormous clamping strength — more than standard clamps
- 3/8"–16 threaded rod doesn’t damage dog holes
- Patented, proven cam-action technology
- Quick 90º speed-clamp action
- Non-marring toe and heel
- One hand operation
- Speed nut attaches quickly
Alternatively, the unique design of the included threaded brass nut allows the Bench Clamp to be used in any size hole from 7/16" to 1-1/8" and on any flat surface. You can even mount them vertically!
No holes—no problem! Simply drill 7/16" or larger holes through your bench or work surface at the desired location, remove the small brass nut, add the supplied fender washers and tighten the speed nut. If you need a second clamp, just use/drill another bench hole or use a Surface Hold-Down Clamp and Clamp Anchor.
How many times have you held a workpiece in one hand on a drill press table, while advancing the drill with the other, only to have the drill bit catch in the workpiece and tear it out of your hand?
The Bench Clamp attaches easily to most drill press tables providing safe and secure clamping. Once again, just remove the brass nut and add the fender washers top and bottom. No more damaged work pieces...or hands!
No holes—no problem! Leigh Surface Clamps can be mounted wherever that "third hand" is needed. Like the Bench Clamp, the Surface Clamp mounts on any flat surface and at any angle. Use them anywhere on the top of your workbench or mount them vertically on the side of the bench. Or, use a combination of Surface and Bench Clamps together.
The Surface Clamp is great for shop-made jigs and fixtures such as table saw sleds or router table jigs. Use the optional T-Track mounting method for completely adjustable clamp positioning.
The simple design of the Surface Clamp Anchor makes mounting easy and fast. Just use a Forstner (or equivalent) bit to make a 1-1/2" hole, 5/16"deep wherever a clamp is needed.
Position additional anchors wherever you need them. Two anchors are packaged with every clamp and additional anchors are available in a 4-pack. One clamp—multiple clamp positions!
T-bolt head: .1215” x .500” x .700”
T-bolt shaft: .375”
The large holes in the anchor act as drill guides. Just position the large holes where you want the center line of the clamp and drill two 9/32" holes. Rotate the anchor 180 degrees and use two 1/4" - 20 machine screws from the bottom of the bench to hold the anchor securely.
If your bench is too thick or inaccessible, use two #8 wood screws through the top of the anchor and into the bench.
