Leigh Bench and Surface Clamps Make Clamping Easy!
Leigh Hold-Down Clamps use cam-action technology developed
for the award winning Leigh Dovetail Jig and the incomparable
Leigh FMT. Leigh cam-action clamps have a long history of reliable
use. They are tough, versatile and immensely strong! One thing
is certain, “you can never have too many clamps!”
Two models are available. Read on to learn more.

"These have to be perhaps the most versatile and heavy duty cam clamps I have used to date."

BENCH Hold-Down Clamp
|
|
Leigh Bench Clamps provide exceptional holding power and
that “extra hand” you need for many tasks in the shop. These
clamps were designed to be used in the 3/4" bench dog holes
found in most workbenches. The long 3/8" threaded rod and
speed nut allow the clamp to be used in benches up to 4-1/4"
thick.
|
|
|
Alternatively, the unique design of the included threaded brass
nut allows the Bench Clamp to be used in any size hole from
7/16" to 1-1/8" and on any flat surface. You can even mount
them vertically!
|
|
|
No holes—no problem! Simply drill 7/16" or larger holes
through your bench or work surface at the desired location,
remove the small brass nut, add the supplied fender washers
and tighten the speed nut. If you need a second clamp, just
use/drill another bench hole or use a Surface Hold-Down Clamp
and Clamp Anchor.

How many times have you held a
workpiece in one hand on a drill press
table, while advancing the drill with
the other, only to have the drill bit
catch in the workpiece and tear it out
of your hand?
The Bench Clamp attaches easily to
most drill press tables providing safe
and secure clamping. Once again, just
remove the brass nut and add the
fender washers top and bottom. No
more damaged work pieces...or
hands! |

"I recently bought a Sjoberg Nordic Plus 1660 bench. I was trawling on a tool web site and found your Hold-Down Clamp so I bought one. I've been using it all afternoon…I had to clamp and unclamp close on 150 times. There isn't a scratch on the top of the bench or the work, and the parts never slipped once! Thanks for making life easier!"

SURFACE Hold-Down Clamp
|
|
No holes—no problem! Leigh Surface Clamps can be mounted
wherever that “third hand” is needed. Like the Bench Clamp,
the Surface Clamp mounts on any flat surface and at any angle.
Use them anywhere on the top of your workbench or mount
them vertically on the side of the bench. Or, use a combination
of Surface and Bench Clamps together.
The Surface Clamp is great for shop-made jigs and fixtures such
as table saw sleds or router table jigs. Use the optional T-Track
mounting method for completely adjustable clamp positioning.
|
|
|
|
|
The simple design of the Surface Clamp Anchor makes mounting
easy and fast. Just use a Forstner (or equivalent) bit to make
a 1-1/2" hole, 5/16"deep wherever a clamp is needed.
Position additional anchors wherever you need them. Two
anchors are packaged with every clamp and additional anchors
are available in a 4-pack. One clamp—multiple clamp positions!
|
|
|
|
|
|
The large holes in the anchor act as drill guides. Just position the
large holes where you want the center line of the clamp and
drill two 9/32" holes. Rotate the anchor 180 degrees and use
two 1/4" - 20 machine screws from the bottom of the bench to
hold the anchor securely.
If your bench is too thick or inaccessible, use two #8 wood screws
through the top of the anchor and into the bench.

"The clamps are much more substantial than they appear in the website pictures. Maybe you can't say this, but I can—they are absolutely perfect for my Festool Multi-function Table. Thanks for another great product."
