Guide rail clamps

[musik7]

I currently have a pair of Festool's lever clamps, as well as the rapid clamp, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of a clamp that can be used with a guide rail that works like the Irwin quick grip clamps?  I prefer the lever clamps to the screw clamps, but they can still be a little bit finicky for true, one-handed use.

Thanks,

Andrew

I have the DeWalt clamps that Svar listed. They work great and are all I use when clamping rails to sheet goods.  The part that goes in to the track makes them just a bit to big to use in mft holes, but a bit of grinding and they would work. I haven’t done that yet but it’s on my list.

Here's another one which does fit the MFT/3 table due to lenght of 22 cm..
Piher T-track Quick.

Did you modify them?

IIRC the end of those clamps can be removed correct? If that were the case it may be possible to create something to use with the clamp minus the standard end.

A plate with a slot to accept the clamp bar comes to mind, the pin in the end of the clamp bar would be below the plate and you'd draw up against that. Only problem is it's a two-handed maneuver which would be a PITA most of the time. But if you added some clips to retain the pin it would be a one-handed operation. I'm not describing what I envision very well but it would be simple to make. Maybe I will give it a go as I think I have a pair of those clamps and don't use them that often. What I propose would not damage the clamp in any way and be fully reversible to it's original use.

No they come as displayed.
BTW I don't own these but have them on my wish list.

Anyone know where these can be purchased by a US resident? I have been wanting some clamps like these forever.

Thanks
