Ah, so at close to £100 each they'll be out of my budget. Festool or Bessey it is then.

Came across these today and had to add to my collection..i have an R8 holder for them and use mag cutters often in my mill/drill rig as they give a very accurate and clean cut sized hole
Apart from drilling nice core holes those things make surprisingly good emergency face mills

I’ve tried notching with mag cutters, found they grabbed on the thinwall stuff I use.
I’m building powered feed super dooper notcher, hopefully been powered feed it will stop the snatching.

£5.99 for one large or 3 small.
Anto' & Brewd' are on my "not chuffed with them" list at the mo. With them mentioning those clamps, went down for a peek. Just spent £60, and there was nothing edible in my basket.

I got one big one and a set of small ones to try out they seem plenty strong enough for the screwdriver handle. I don't think they'll brake or twist unless you put something on the handle to give more leverage.
Now where did i leave that stiltson...

I got some of those clamps and they are very good.
Apart from mentioning the queue to get was 5 miles, and three hours...

Maybe they've improved them since, but I bought a set of those plastic-jawed one-handed quick-set ones from Lidl a few years ago and one snapped on first or second use. Probably just a flaw, as the others have taken dog's abuse. Where it snapped was identifiably a weak spot where stress would be concentrated, and there might have been a moulding flaw there.The red plastic covers will be handy for working with delicate surfaces until you accidentally weld a little too close to one, not that I'd ever do anything that stupid

Lidl's steel F-clamps are bloody good, though. I'd definitely have another set when they appear (Aldi have them too, sometimes).
What is it ?

I have one already so you can have that one Paul. Will tip that box out today and take pics of the unwanted contents.
