Cam Clamps
As soon as I added the router insert to my MFT, I started thinking about guards
and fences. For a quick-release guard over a pattern bit, I made the clamps
this way:
A rubber sanding drum (www.mcmaster.com, 3/4"x3/4", 4650A52, 2.70 USD each)
supplies the expansion plug and its washers.
Add a Rockler 5/16" Cam Clamp (www.rockler.com, 58252, 6.79 USD for 2) and a
5/16" bolt.
[Added October 3, 2007] Similar cam clamps (photo below) are available from Lee Valley (05J51.05, 4.95USD for one).
[Added October 4, 2007] Similar cam clamps (tiny photo below) are available from Woodcraft (145630, 5.99USD for one).
The plug (3/4" = 19mm) expands to get a good grip on the 20mm holes of the MFT.
