Your right Ned, but then it isn't a "fast action" clamp it's a "walk around the door clamp" ;DNed Young said:Mike_Chrest said:OK,
Here is a design issue. I use the "Fast Action Clamp"

on my guide rails when cutting down doors. ... Unfortunately the handle folds toward the blade side of the guide rail. I can just barely plunge the saw between the handle and the edge of the door, but it would be really nice if the handle folded away from the blade.
Mike, I see your point., but until the factory makes "other-handed" FS-Rapid clamps, just reverse them. That is, put the half of the clamp with the squeeze handle at the far end of the rail, and the tail piece nearest the operator. Then the clamp handle swings out of the way.
Providing the link to the product page is a great idea, especially when talking about the many smaller and confusingly named pieces.
