Alternate Option To Festool Clamping Elemen

[Staniam]

    Hey guys I'm wondering if any of you know any decent to good alternatives to the Festool Clamping Elemen #488030.

    I don't doubt they're worth the money but I just dropped $1100 on Festool/Tanos/Bosch stuff (which is a lot for me) and I'm budgeting another $100 for a folding MFT table I've been planning to make. Needless to say, I'm kind of cringing on dropping $100+ on two clamps right now.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

anthonyz,

    Those look really nice, I especially like the bench blades since they're super low profile. I watched a youtube video on the Wonder Dog and they look awesome too. I'll probably order a few of both. Thanks a bunch.

    Anyone else have any suggestions?
