I just discovered that the Kreg Klamp works perfectly as a drill press clamp. I imagine it could be used an any drill press, but it works especially well on one with T slots. I did flatten the sides of a washer to distribute the load on the T slot a bit more. The included Kreg bolt and the washer simply slide into either T slot, the 6" reach makes it to the center of the table. I previously tried the Festool ratchet clamp, it fit in the slot, but since it didn't rotate like the Kreg, it didn't really work very well.

BTW - 6" is the LARGE Kreg clamp. 3" on the smaller one.
