Bosch router clamp

Post by MikeDe1025 »

Sorry if this is a duplicate post. I thought I'd just posted this but I can't find it anywhere.

OK, has anyone here ever attempted to make their own Bosch router clamp? I have the Shark which has the Bosch Colt and the MDF table. My router clamp has broken and at $35.00 on the Nextwave website I don't think I want to pay that only to get yet another plastic clamp that's going to break yet again.

I second the clamps from Dixie Billet. He made me one for my big Porter Cable router on my Shark HD.
It is steady as a rock. I just had him make another with a 6" extension so that I can make box joints
off the edge of the table. Looking to try that out this weekend.

Here is their email: business@dixiebillet.com

Cheers!

Hey thanks guys. I was hoping someone had jumped on this project. Someone with a CNC laser setup could make a small fortune right here just on router clamps. Thanks for nothing Nextwave.

Anyway, I emailed the folks at Dixie Billet to see if they are still making them and how much. I thank you guys for your responses.

Mike

Hello all,
To update the topic, yes Sam Clark still makes these, he's making one right now for me. If you need one the business@dixiebillet.com is still a good contact address. He accepts paypal payments as well.

Good luck!
Jim
