More fun with 80/20...??

[tallgrass]

I guess I will have to take and post pics.  [scared] I am not sure I can do better than the videos that are made by RUWI and the Examples that Manoor wood has posted in the MFT thread. I will be working on a project in the next couple of days and will try to take some pictures showing how I use them.

Seeing as this is my all-time favorite thread on all things 80/20, I thought I would share a bit of my recent research.

Manor Wood has several great videos showing his incredible aluminum extrusion miter saw stand and aluminum extrusion mft inspired cutting table.
Miter Saw Stand
Manor Wood Mega MFT Work Table

He also has a video highlighting RUWI's new stop rails that are now adaptable for the MFT/3 and lifting tables akin to the Felder FAT300.

Video here -

In this video, beginning around 1:47, he highlights new RUWI dogs that quickly and easily clamp the extrusion to the bench.  I decided I NEEDED this product.

I believe Manor Wood's extrusion is identical to the 40 series from 80/20.  Unfortunately, this product does not exist on the RUWI site, but I did eventually find two sources for it:
https://www.sautershop.de/klemmbolzen-mit-klemmhebel-oe-20-mm-ru-27536?c=15539
I contacted them, and they do ship to the US, though shipping ain't cheap. 

Sautershop also offers a wide variety of other interesting RUWI products -https://www.sautershop.de/multifunk...pannen-saegen-bohren/schnellspanner-von-ruwi/

Felder also offers it here -https://us.feldershop.com/en-US/en-US/en-US/Workshop/Lifting-tables/Klemmbolzen-mit-Klemmhebel.html

I managed to get a ton of 80/20 15 series extrusion for cheap a long while ago, so even after all my digging to find that exact item, I don't think it will work for me, even though I really wish it would.  Bummer!  It would be a great addition to my 80/20 mft/3 cart - [attachimg=1]

However, I am waiting to hear back from [member=49728]Ralph Mignano[/member] at Benchdogs UK, as I am hopeful that their fence dogs will effectively do the same thing in terms of allowing me to firmly attach my 15 series 80/20 extrusion to my mft. https://benchdogs.co.uk/collections/frontpage/products/fence-dogs

I hope this helps anyone else in the US who likes Manor Wood's ideas and wants to further play around with them.  Anything that combines the mft/3 20mm layout with 80/20 always intrigues me, which includes basically everything [member=8712]Richard/RMW[/member] posts haha

Hey.  Just thought id post you some images of the Flag Stops for the 1.5 x 1.5 extrusion,  as for the fence dogs they would be no issue with using them with this extrusion as long as you order the sliding T-nuts (M6)from the extrusion company 8020 inc.

RUWI sounds like a perfect addition to the expanding [member=59331]TSO Products[/member] inventory...

thanks for the pointer to the RUWI product line, Richard! We are taking note of the general interest in this particular functionality.
Keep the tips and pointers coming, please!

Dibs on the first set of MFT/extrusion clamps.  [popcorn]

RMW

@RMA and [member=2242]tallgrass[/member]  - can you provide specifics as to the functionality you are interested in so we know what to look for?
Which RUWI item(s) would you like to see available from TSO?

Hans

[member=59331]TSO Products[/member] Hans generally I'm interested in what I'd call the 20mm fixturing stuff. I don't use an MFT/3 anymore so it'd need to work with 80/20 15 series (8mm slot) and 20/96MM MTF hole pattern. Like:

[attachimg=1]

[attachimg=2]

[attachimg=3]

[attachimg=4]

[attachimg=5]

I'm willing to pre-order if you need the volume to get to an initial stocking order.

Thanks, love what you guys are doing.

I would certainly be interested in the same sort of  items, given my use of 80/20 15 series and 20mm mft/3 tops.  I have some 80/20 product en route that I hope to tinker a bit with to try to make a more cost-effective solution for myself, though I know it will not be as fast to use as what RUWI has done.

 

[rst]

I also would be interested in the RUWI fixturing accessories.  I have a lot of 8020 that I use for all kinds of fixturing. 

 

[tallgrass]

yes, the above selection is exactly what you want to integrate into the MFT world. I have these and they are of tremendous value. It fundamentally is the ultimate manifestation of the "MFT dog".

 

[Klemm]

OK, fellows, - thank your for the specifics.
We will follow up on that and get some samples.

It would help to have your complete contact information via PM or email mention  SUBJECT: RUWI so I can get back to each of you who are interested in this specialty topic. Please include your FOG name so I can connect the dots.

Color me in Hans....I’ve been eye balling this stuff for the last 8-9 months.

 

[blaszcsj]

Agreed. Just difficult to find a vendor in the states.

More options for 80/20?! Oh yea!

There. It has been in US for a long time:https://www.ebay.com/itm/80-20-Inc-...ries-14117-N/371952381973?hash=item569a16f015:g:6jMAAOSwYlRZGyhU:rk:1f:1&frcectupt=true

You can assemble those hold downs yourself with minimal efforts.

In addition to Svar’s links take a look at JW Winco they are great source for all sorts of these widgets and things.

Unfortunately the 80/20 clamp block only appears to be available in 40 series and all my 15 series profiles are ~2mm smaller. Since the slot us the same 8mm it won't snug the 15 down properly. "F" is 15.9mm - the dimension is 15mm on the 1.5" profiles:

[attachimg=1]

Probably the same on the RUWI profiles. Not impossible to knock off .9mm.

I'm mostly interested in the 20mm dog clamp gadgets.

Could be fun (but time consuming) Easter Egg hunt since a search for RUWI at Winco returns 0 products.

Thanks [member=17701]Sean KS[/member] - I think someone mentioned that profile by the inch earlier and I plumb forgot about it. I did check their eBay store where I get most of my stuff and it wasn't there, I'll have to order a couple feet of it from them and experiment.

Berkey System is another option for adjustable fittings. These are the top choice for camera rigging. Don’t know how prices compare.

It is there:https://www.ebay.com/itm/80-20-Inc-...eries-4468-N/371041587044?hash=item5663cd4f64:g:ueMAAOSwIQdZGxsa:rk:1f:1&frcectupt=true

Saw that, but they also sell the extrusion by the inch for around $0.50/". Being cheap I figured I'd grab a couple of feet and then whack it up & bore my own holes. the raw extrusion isn't on the eBay store unless I somehow missed it.
