Last fall I bought my last table saw .. Its a Martin slider. A good friend of mine who is also a member here said " don't order Martin clamps, order them from Mac " .. So I didn't order them from Martin ..
When the saw arrived, I realized that for some cuts, clamps would be a real safety add-on .. and accuracy add-on ..
So .. ( I am in Canada ) .. I got a link to Mac's clamps ( who is a member here ) .. From Joe AZ who is also a member here and I ordered a pair.
They arrived a few days ago .. I am so impressed with the quality .

First let me add that I have no idea how to install them. Been busy at work . Mac emailed me instructions that I haven't read ..
Basically I sent a couple grand to a guy in another country and waited.. lol . The internet is amazing.. A couple months later, they arrived, customized to my saw ..

I have to say .. These clamps might be better built than the saw.. The fit and finish is impeccable. All the parts are high quality and the feel of the levers says well built.
If you need / want clamps for a Euro Slider that are better than the ones supplied by the manufacturer, and want to deal with a straight shooting made in America guy .. Check out Mac Campshure's clamps ..
