Never can have too many clamps!

Lakeside53 said:Never! I've taken to buying them in every form at garage sales, by the box. Still need more now and then. Some of the best C clams I find are 1950's, big, rusty, but work great with a little TLC. Made in USA, not the Chinese junk found at the hardware stores.

Madsaw said:Common term in my neck of the woods for them is buzz saw. Seen them mounted on about any kind of older tractor. Front mounts were driven with the belt pulley and the 3 point units ran off the pto. They were made with a sliding table stationary table and a rocking type too. Some of the old farmers had attachments for them to sharpen the ends of drive stakes for fencing too. Alot of them got converted into scarp over the years. Some got put on a trailer and driven with the pto to a gear box then with belts to the saw mandrel. Some said this was safe because of belt slippage. I have about 5 of them ,but never used one. The neats one I ever saw was on a steel wheel wagon driven with a big 10 horse hit and miss engine.

I'm glad to see you're using a tablecloth...to protect the saws!
