landroversforever Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Stauff make some pretty good clamps in various materials. Not the prettiest though. I totally forgot to check the brand of lighting clamp we use on Tuesday... I'll try and remember to have a look next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lo-fi Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Throw a few dimensions at me, I'll knock a couple out on the Bridgeport. Be a nice first project for the beautiful Japanese rotary table I picked up for next to nothing and haven't used yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zardos Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 1 hour ago, FridgeFreezer said: I think hydraulic clamps are designed to flex a bit so as not to damage the tubes, the SWA clamps I'm not super convinced about their strength (even the alloy ones are not super solid looking) as they're designed to hold a bit of cable to a wall rather than stop a 5kg lump of metal bouncing around in a car, they just look like there's a lot of material taken out / very thin walls. The 50mm cleats are designed to handle cable that is 7.8kg per meter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 FF if you have something specific in mind design wise I could knock you some up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Zardos - fair enough, they look less substantial than that VB - Thanks for the offer, I'm probably going to end up making something myself to suit, if only to justify having the lathe & mill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
