I was at a consignment store and it looked like someone had some rockler pipe clamps and replaced the actual pipe with black iron pipe... The nice thing about the clamps is they were about 60+", perfect for large pieces...
What should I expect to pay for something like this? Are these good clamps? I didn't notice any rubber to protect the wood, but I imagine I could glue some felt or something like that to the jaws.
I currently own Bessey clamps, but my biggest clamp is 50", just bought a new clamp (Revo style) last night and I want larger clamps and these seem like they could be modified to make them pretty much as long as I wanted...
Wanting to know if I should return my Bessey and get these... I paid $60 bucks for my Bessey and that could buy me a lot of pipe clamps IMO.
I guess I could buy some smaller clamps and do the same thing?
Basically wanting to know if the quality of these clamps and how much I should look to spend. Looks like from Rocklers site the small ones are around $20, but I can't seem to find large ones.
