New hold-down product
I searched for a similar thread but couldn't find one. So here I go. I've been working on this new hold-down system for some time and hope you'll pay me a visit. Thanks for looking.

interesting, but I have a question about your design, why not make the slot for the clamping screw to hide an allen head screw?
here, take a look at the quick drawings I did in solidworks, this way you make it even lower profile. Good Luck! |

Pablo, cap screws are made from tough steel - cutters don't like them.
Bill, you might want to go the step clamp route to accommodate different thicknesses of material. |

I understand, these are sacrificial screws, but nevertheless, they can be hidden inside the clamp for even lower profile, same as the space I left for an allen screw, but shallower.

I like the steel clamp idea. Make them out of plastic.

Thank you Pablo. I appreciate your suggestion and the time you took to draw it out. Looks great! At the current time I'm using a mold that won't allow me to do that. But certainly I could machine it in. Thanks again.

You're right Pablo. I could sink the slot and still use the brass round heads. Nothing like a good brain-storming session.

You might have something but I'm thinking those metal ones have reached their design pinnacle. They're pretty much perfect for general woodworking and I can't imagine them in any material other than aluminum.

You can't argue with success. Thanks for your response Normand.

His looks better than mine does.
Im not trying to take away from your business at all. Im just a poor boy and I can draw using visuals. Hope you do well, especially with all your hard work that you put into this product. They work pretty good. They need to be made out of hdpe for durability. James |

Bill I agree. I just forked over $209.00 USD for an 4'x8'x.75" sheet of hdpe. That hurt a lot but with building a business that is just part of the cycle until you can have the leverage for bulk ordering once you have become successful and start to balance the scales. I have yet to really make a profit as I just put back what I make into the business instead of spending it on everyday things.
Glad your doing good. Keep it up. James |
