Strap Clamp sets

[bb218]

I am wanting to purchase a small 1/4 " set of strap clamps and the Studs. Does anyone know where I can purchase these ?:wall:

I would suggest you put 'strap clamp' into your search engine and then select images.

Choose the type you require and let us know.

I've never seen them that small. I use 3/8" slot/ 5/16 stud set on the
Benchmaster and that's even hard to find sometimes!!

Probably not what you want to hear, but I would make what you need. Get some good all thread ( B7 Grade @ McMaster ) for your studs and maybe some 01 flat ground stock for your clamps. Tee nuts come in many sizes so you may luck out there.

Am I missing something here?

What are 'strap clamps' ? Or is it some sort of US language?

It was for that reason I suggested he put up a picture as it could mean almost anything.

Carr-Lane has them, and 10-32 in stainless!

bb218,

Where in the world are you? It would be helpful if you had your location showing in your profile.

I an only offer the general information that most of the larger suppliers to the trade have lots of hold-down hardware.

Sherline and Taig have hold-down hardware for their small machines which might be useful. 10-32 fasteners, though.

Making clamping hardware is not too hard. I've made several small clamping pieces using 1/4-20 fasteners. I used pieces of 3/4 x 1/4 steel bar cut to length and machined as clamp bars to fit the application. If you are metric, them maybe 6mm or 8mm fasteners.

Have fun,

I think tha you want clamps like these http://www.machineryhouse.com.au/C0954#. Easy enough to make yourself out of some tool steel.

Blogwitch, Strap clamps may be a US term, ShopShoe, I am from Southern Indiana in the US I will check my profile an see it I can get it corrected. Swifty, the clamps you show are what I am looking for but I have a hole plate tapped 1/4 20 that I will be using instead of Tee slots.

Thanks everyone for the response, Bobm985, I will check out the Carr Lane clamps. Mike

Hi Mike, I bought some clamps and tapped a plate M8 to suit, I mainly use them on my rotary table. They are great to use, I might buy a couple of sets with M6 rods as well.

Thanks Bob, now I know what you are after.
I have just bought an 8MM set like you show and it has 6mm studs, but because I bought a 58 piece set in Europe for 39 Euros, including rack, it will be no use giving you the address, but for anyone in Europe, this is where to get these very elusive sets from. These are used on the mini mills from Sieg.
