N00b-in-training Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 You told her? Why would one do such a thing? Every few weeks my wife just walks into the garage stands there for a while looking around then curses and leaves. LOL. She asked to know if I had done all of my own Christmas shopping or not. Normally she's got no idea. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I wonder how many " look at my jet clamps" threads we can get going at 1 time. Right now there are 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cochese Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Already got my ship notice from the Woodcraft order. Sweet. And Acme. So it will greatly exceed the experience in 2013 from Beaver. I think those took seven months. Edited November 28, 2015 by Cochese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Same experience but add 01:00, 02:00 and 03:00 to your list. Thats weird, i saw them price drop them at about 11:30 pm pst. Same as woodcraft prices, just didn't feel like waiting this year. Last year I didn't get them until Xmas week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Thats weird, i saw them price drop them at about 11:30 pm pst. Same as woodcraft prices, just didn't feel like waiting this year. Last year I didn't get them until Xmas week. Went to add to my "shopping cart" from the search page and nothing showed up. Clicked to get to the individual product page and got a "product unavailable" message. Did not bother me much. Beaver said "in stock." I just found it weird so I kept checking back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradpotts Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Grabbed a few new clamps this morning and I'll definately say, the ones I bought today at woodcraft are way way smoother than the half dozen I got last year fulfilled by beaver industrial. I don't know if they changed something with the tolerances or what but the last ones are still annoyingly tight. The new ones feel like butta.. Thanks for posting this. I wasn't happy with the clamps I bought last year, and decided not to buy any this year. If these don't have the sliding problem last years did, I might pick some up.

Brendon_t Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Seriously brad, I'm loving it. I've got the 4 new ones in a glue up right now. They slide open and closed with gravity without having to do the crazy wrist flip thingy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgreenb Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I wonder how many " look at my jet clamps" threads we can get going at 1 time. Right now there are 3.when I saw the thread title "BOOM" and then read the post and it was just clamps it was probably the worst case of blue balls I've had since I was 16. (Mods, before you ban me for this one, take into account that it's the day after thanksgiving and I've had a few beers.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenskye Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Consider this a PSA. I was at the Harrisburg, PA woodcraft and they had lots of jet clamps available. They got a new shipment in yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDave Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I was at my local WoodCraft yesterday morning along with over a dozen other eager beavers. Last year I was one of only 3 people...so the word must have gotten out locally I only picked up 6 12" Jets and a new 1/4" 4tpi bandsaw blade. They still had some when I checked out a couple hours later. What I really need at some F styles to go on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N00b-in-training Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Clamp rack built. Now I have to wait until Christmas for my kids to give me the other 8 clamps I bought. Thanks to Marc for a great design! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativename5 Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Woodcraft in OKC still has plenty if anyone is nearby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcworthWW Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 First post from a long time lurker. For those of you in the Atlanta area that missed out on Jet clamps online, Woodcraft still has plenty of clamps in the store. They have had much lower traffic than they expected. I made this haul this afternoon. 6 - 12", 8 - 24", 8 - 31", and 4 - 40". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Cancelleri Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I think you can get them from Amazon, I hear they sell stuff on that website.

Mark J Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I just heard from Rockler. They are unable to honor my order for the clamps and are cancelling it. I'm told that the stock of clamps they were expecting were never delivered--and apparently they are not able to honor the pricing when they do get clamps in stock. I gather that others were successful, particularly with in store purchases. Congrats to them.Me, I am really disappointed with Jet on this. I am going to stop by Menards and look at the Jorgensons on sale. Epilogue.So I went to Menards and bought a dozen of the Jorgensen clamps that they have on sale (sale runs through Dec 6, 2015 and if out of stock they will give rain checks good for 90 days). While maybe not as nice as the Jet (or Bessey) clamps they look to be a great clamp, the price is good, etc. Moreover I come to find that it is a Chicago company that does most of its manufacturing in Chicago. So now I'm thinkin' this all worked out well. In the end I got good clamps at a good price, and I've got the warm and fuzzy about supporting my local economy. Then my phone rings. It's Rockler. There was some confusion last Friday. They are able to honor the pricing from their online sales and would like to know if I would still like to receive the clamps at the Black Friday price. After a brief right brain left brain tussle I said yes, and then they waived the shipping fee. I am really impressed with Rockler's customer service on this one. First, technically I agreed to cancel the order so they could have just ignored this matter. But from talking to the representative who called me it is clear they went to some trouble to investigate the cancellation, including listening to the recording of my earlier phone call, then having a live person call me. Of course I bought more Jorgensens than I could argue I really needed; now I have twice that many clamps. I am going to have to come up with a project that needs a lot of clamps -- or maybe just put a lot of clamps on a project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
