The orange pegs for the clamping devices do not fit into the holes, why is that? And what can i do?

Mine did. Make sure you have it properly constructed. Origianaly I had a couple top boards upside down and the orange pegs did not go in correctly. When I flipped the boards over and did it correctly they fit. That was my problem. Great piece of equipment once I got it put together correctly.

I had a similar problem. The pegs fit some of the holes but not all. So I have a hole problem. I plan to use a sanding drum slightly smaller than the hole to enlarge the small holes. This shows poor quality control on Black and Decker's part.

They fit easier in some of the holes for me than they do others. But not good fits by any stretch of the imagination. I have not tried to change them yet, but the only options I came up with are 1) sand down the pegs a little to adjust fit. 2) sand out peg holes to adjust fit. Or 3) grab some good lumber and make a new top for my mini-bench. If you go for the sanding, I think a high grit on the pegs would be the easiest option. Just wrap it around the peg and twist it back and forth an check frequently for fit so that you don't remove too much material. Hope this helps in some way.

Mine fit fine. If they are too big try grinding them down a bit. If they are a little small they are used to clamp things so they will straighten out when used.If you prefer, contact Black and Decker and they can send you a new set. Or you can buy a new one.

I found that if I pound them in and then twist them with a long handle wrench, the holes quickly enlarge for a proper fit. This is annoying!

Bottom of clamp where the screws attach seems rounded to allow for clearance. (Different problem) clamp may need to be modified to use with aftermarket barrels.

All the pegs are the same size that fit into the hole. Most run a bit small. You MUST use a rubber type adhesive to keep it in the grate. If the one you have the ones with a dome type piece that extends out... these will not work. They do not extend beyond the grate and you still have metal against metal. The ONLY replacement I have found is with Viking for $10 per rubber foot. CRAZY!

I had this same desire because I already have the whole F.A. Edmunds handi-clamp system, but when I tried the holes were too small. My husband said the holes would need to be redrilled larger to the 1/4" size. The rods that come with this set work fine, and it comes with a roll of loop tape for the hook & loop fastening system used on this set. I hope this helps! It really is a great system to have!

You cannot use your existing mounting holes. You must make new ones so you can adjust them accordingly.

There is a clamp that is further to bottom that probably needs to be tighter than what it already is. The same thing happened to my son. If that does not work try taking it to the nearest bike shop to see if they know what to do.

If I remember correctly, Remove the middle beam. Disconnect the head/foot screws, expand the sides to the next larger holes that the pegs fit in, replace all the screws, replace the middle beam but horizontally to the head/foot rails this time.

KevinThe screws that the manufacture supplies are too big. You will need to use smaller ones.

I had the same problem. I finally got mine to fit properly, but I will not order them again. I wasted too much time every time I had to take the cartridge out of the Brother and get it back in without it being crooked.

Try flipping them the other way. They kind of fold strangely. One way they will fall open and hang straight down. If you invert the fold and rotate it the opposite direction, then it should rest on the pegs and tuck away neatly. I hope this helps.

The NPT tapered pipe threads in the clamp head won't fit threaded metric pipe (unless you thread it with an NPT die). If this is a problem, try using Irwin pipe clamps which have sliding fit on both pieces--no threads.

Are you using the spacers included? There are two sizes; one should make it work

adam w evans answer seems like a great answer. I didn't have the problem you describe, nor have I had to adjust the screw mentioned.

Any hardware store will have rubber grommet type o-rings that should help I have never had a problem with mine but I think that would be the easiest cheapest solution! Hope that helps.

I don't know. Can you post a picture of the 10 lb. base and give me the dimensions of the female receptor? I may then be able to help. Does your base have a screw clamp to hold the "peg" in place?

Yeah I had that problem too. I used vise grip clamps to set the width I wanted between the two sides and then drilled new holes

Hello, yes you may. Also check how tight the clamps are, maybe they are to tight or just needs a little grease/WD40. Thank you
