one of the other nice things about Mac’s clamps is that it is very easy to use the clamps together or flip a switch and use them one at a time. The custom valves he uses allows police Kathy O’Connor g how you want them to operate separately or together.
they are particularly nice when handling larger work pieces. It’s very easy to get the work positioned and lock it down without walking back and forth. They are also self adjusting for wood thickness. Expensive, but like several have said, once you’ve used them, worth every penny.
