Jfitz Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Thanks for the tip! I saw the price drop on the kit (2 each of 24" and 40") dropped some, but I didn't check all the clamps. I do need clamps, so now might be as good-time as any! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfitz Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 It looks like you can "build" the "set" they advertise (2 24's, 2 40's, the blocks and bench dogs) for about $151 or so. Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Amazon is currently selling Jet parallel clamps (2 packs) for about half the price (essentially 2 for 1). 12" (2 pack) = $46.58 24" (2 pack) = $56.72 31" (2 pack) = $59.37 40" (2 pack) = $61.49 Be sure to use the Amazon link on the TWW site and give Marc credit for the sale. I was looking at these and I buy them locally for the same price as the "sales" price. The "normal" price they have crossed out is ridiculous!

Jfitz Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Vic - where do you get them locally? I realize that you are in WA but I need to ask. I cannot find any place local that carries Jet clamps a a reasonable price. I think the local Grainger carries them at those "crossed out" prices; the local big box stores do not carry them.

Vic Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Fortunately, or unfortunately, right across the street from where I work. The place is called Milne Power Tool and Repair. David, the owner, is a great guy. I wish he could get quality hand tools, though. He sells mostly Bessey, but I told him I loved the Jet parallel, so he keeps a smaller stock of those. I try to buy something from him at least once a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Looks like they are selling out quickly. The 24" size is already gone as are a couple of the longer ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfitz Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Crap, the 24" clamps already went back up to $74 for a pair..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Woodguy Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Sweet! Love those clamps but the blasted things are expensive. All I wanted is sold out, but I can be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfitz Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Sweet! My first ones arrived yesterday by UPS. Dang, they're a lot heavier than I expected! I hope to spend some time tonight cleaning them and waxing the bar to avoid glue issues. These are my first parallel clamps (previously only used F style clamps for pretty much everything) so I'm very excited. I got the 12" clamps yesterday; the price on the 24" clamps had gone up before I got to order, so I ordered some of the 31" for about the same price and they should arrive Friday; and according to Amazon, the 40" clamps show up next week.

wdwerker Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 I have a bunch of Bessey K bodies. The (2) 48" Jet's get grabbed first! Nice clamps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
