What are the black clips that are shown here mounted on the guide? How does this differ from a generic straight edge with clamps?

There may be other purposes but I find them useful for clamping the bar down so it can not move when cutting.

The clips are in tracks and allow you to guide the saw very precisely. As you know with a regular straightedge you need to measure the width of the plate at the base of the saw to align the straightedge correctly. I've found the VersaCut Track to be easier to use. I've been able to do some long thin cuts using it and it works well.

The black clips tell you where to locate the straight edge that they are attached to. They are NOT clamps. The track guide comes with 2 alligator clamps.

The track guide comes with two clamps. The two "clips" are actually offset guides. Each guide has two arrows to show you where the saw will cut. One arrow for each direction. Line up the arrows on your cut line and the guide is offset correctly.

The black clips help you move the guide away from the cut line and then the blade should cut at the right place. If you look at the Rockwell saw this is usually paired with, the blade is not in the center of the base. There is a long tab and a short tab on the clip and you use the one based on which way you are going to cut. Once you have the guide clamped in place, the clips swing out of the way. It is not perfect, but once you get used to using the guides they are helpful.

The one I ordered here came without any side clips (my original one did not have them either). HTH

The grid clips that work best are the twist clips. They come in a package of 10.

It's a clip on that stays where you clip it!! I like that and I have used all parts of this tool. Every part works great! I highly recommend it!!

I replaced it with the Pivotrim X4. It was only about $20 and it's simpler to replenish the line. You just thread pre-cut pieces of line onto two hole mounts. The line forms a U through the mount. I've been using it with just 2 opposing mounts leaving the other two empty.

The version I bought had straight clamps. I am not sure how far back you need the fltechings but you will need to verify the style clamps you order as the kit will only come with one style (straight, 30 degrees, reverse, etc.). Otherwise, this is a great system as long as you prep the shaft properly and use good quality glue.

I looked at mine and couldn't find it but a Google search turned this up: http://www.classroomfriendlysupplies.com/collections/mounts-and-clamps

There is a clamp. You can't actually see it in the picture because it fits to the bottom of the grey base and secures it to the edge of a table or a counter. Overall, the clamping mechanism is all metal and very solid. Hope this helps. Cheers.

The set comes with an "edge" that attaches to one side or the other of the jig. The edge will keep the drilled holes consistent distance from the edge of the shelf upright. After insuring that the jig was positioned correctly I clamped it in place with the clamp from my Kreg pocket hole set. The edge can be attached either to the left side or the right side for either deep or shallow pin hole locations (from the edge).

My grids came with clips, screws and mollys. Mollys are used with a screw when you are not going into a stud. I did not purchase any additional clamps.

What came with mine was: BLACK clamps, with rubber shims so as can be used with 3/4, 7/8, or 1" bars- along with 2 BLACK braces to attach windshield to bars.. I had to fab a bracket so as to have a third mounting point for stability. I used a HOT ice-pick to make a hole for additional bolt. [You risk shattering if try to use a drill]

SPD Clips. Have used them at several different facilities and they work fine

It does come with "U" shaped clamps, not the nice band clamps and hangers to fit into the original rubber mounts. The hangers are just hooks welded to clamps. You have to lay it out and think about what is going to go where... in the end I had a left over hanger that didn't fit... I cut the hanger off the clamp and turned it around and welded it back on. This was on a STD cab long bed, since the system fits all cabs / beds, it might have gone to another setup. The connection from the down-tube to the first pipe kept loosening up on me, I eventually tacked a weld about 1/2" long on each side and it's been fine ever since.

Yes the clip is black. Screws are not though which is not really a big deal for me.

The clip is black with the Zero Tolerance (ZT) logo. Small but extremely sturdy.

The clips pop open when bent like a barrette and snap shut. They work just like any Clip in extensions, there are lots of how to videos on YouTube

Good question. I looked it up in the manual and I also checked at the company's website and there is no mention of the triangular clip. I thought there might be an accessory that connects to it but not so. I'm really not sure what it's for.
