Been seeing all those fast action bench clamps used on the Fesstool table and was wondering what is available for regular thick workbenches with 3/4in dogholes. Found this one on Lee Valley and it looks great but its 84$.

Any other options out there?

Leigh makes a similar hold-down clamp. I've not used one though

A standard holdfast is pretty fast at holding fast. Cheaper too
Thanks, Curt

Holdfast.
Excellent value. Google "TFWW" and search holdfast. For some reason my iPad can't copy and paste the link.
