Clamping: The base has slots, presumably for mounting clamps, but I can't find any that work well with it. Can anyone recommend some clamps?

I made my own and they work well. I went to my local Lowes as they sell bolts, washers and nuts individually not in a multiple bag of pieces. I had some hardwood pieces around so I cut the lengths I wanted, made openings for the bolts and what I made works great. I don't have a need for metal clamps as the Dremel and the press are light weigh. This is just a suggestion, make you own.

I found some on e-bay. Harbor freight also has some. I also have made custom clamps from cutting up heavy hinges.

I bought a clampfrom Amazon that works well, but I tkink its for a fool sized press. Search Amazon for drill press clamps. This one doesn't have a brand name on it

Hello;I use 5/16 bolts with washers and nuts. I have also made some clamping straps from 1/8" x 1/2"x 2" mild steel drilled and tapped to standard 5/16 threads.Hope this helps,Charlie

Check the last page of the manual - there are instructions for making your own.

Can anyone who has set up their own diy made clamps post some pictures of the setup? I don't own the workstation and don't want to buy it without being able to clamp my piece. Thanks!

Yihong,I'm sorry I can't help you with that because I mounted it where I needed it not by using the clamp but by screwing it straight through to a metal plate and I didn't keep the clamp. I'm sorry I can' t help you but I can tell you it offers several mounting options so you can probably make it work for you. It is a good stand, that is for sure.Good luck, Frank

There is a c- clamp type for the edge of the desk. Or it has another mount if you want to drill into your desk for a better position. Comes with both. Works great on the edge, that is how I use it.

No, the base is heavy and will support monitor without clamping. If you do drill you don't use the base at all.

Yes and No. Ours came with the spring loaded clamps and it was a quick and easy install. Our friend ordered the same unit and his had a clamp and screw assembly. Major pain. Must have been an old box ??

http://youtu.be/cCkoEyvu5Z4 this link to youtube should explain how to set it up. It has an adapter you can attach to the battery more secure than the clamps.

I found the top-bottom clamps very useful to hold boards while cutting on the edge of the table. I don't believe I could have secured them that well with the other type of clamps. However the horizontal clamp is probably better to hold pieces vertical for drilling. This table comes with horizontal clamps too but there's no mechanism to tighten the jaws (like the trigger in the yellow ones of the other model) which makes them kind-of useless for me.

The same as someone else responded to however the base is not intended for direct mounting. If you do decide to mount it using the base, I would first glue and screw it to a piece of wood cut to the same size as the base to ensure sufficient support.

Nooooo! I do not recommend anything more than a splash cymbal. And also, the clamp is only a pressure clamp (does not lock) and doesn't mount on vertical posts. Only horizontal, rack type of systems. But will not fit on a rack system. I still have not found an application for this clamp, I'd recommend a Gibraltar, or some other clamp. They're around the same price.

It has a built in "kick-stand", but no, it does not come with a clamp. It has a threaded mount hole on the back for the available clamp.

It attaches with a standard screw clamp. It works for us, but sorry, it may not for you.

I wouldn't clamp directly to the desk since you want to clamp pretty tightly. Put something between the clamp and glass (cardboard, some rubber, etc) to help spread the clamping force. ONce you have it clamped it should be fine though, of course, it is now balanced to the edge where the mounting arm is. If you don't have the glass secured to the base then it could tilt. That's less of an issue with this particular arm and more an issue with any weight close to the edge. My desktop tilted back a bit before I remembered to rescrew it to the base. :)

This product did not come with a clamp. It's meant to be used on a sewing machine table or you can drill a hole in a desktop and tighten the nut from below.

The arm has a pin that sets down into the table clamp. If you don't use the clamp, I don't know how you would mount it.

I clamp mine onto a std rail. I believe there is a swivel mount option that I did not use. It's good for rail mount. Can't say more tho.

There is a clamp come with it if you mount it through the hole on your desk, otherwise the base itself does not need a clamp to hold down.

I don't really know. Clamps might be a good idea and they're not very expensive.
