wdwerker Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 I almost started laughing. $50 for 4 pieces of aluminum slotted to hold parallel clamps or another version to hold pipe clamps. 2 sets for $90 Bessey KP blocks are around $20 - $25 a set. I fail to see the big advantage. I've got a couple sets of KP blocks and don't even use them that often. But they can come in handy when gluing up big doors .

ben_r_ Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Ha! Was just going to create a thread on this one! Man they come up with some weird, overpriced stuff sometimes! Ive got some of the Bessey parallel clamp blocks too and when I do need them they work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 The wood peckers one seems to hold the panel of the bars so you don't have direct glue contact that might be a plus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Nope! Sorry! Just not necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted March 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 K body clamps come with snap on plastic supports that keep the wood from resting on the clamp bars..I have pulled them off of all my clamps so I can use plenty of them on the particular clamps actuall in use. 4 per bar is usually plenty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a whole box that I seriously thought about tossing but someone mentioned if I ever need to make cabinet doors they may come in handy so I through them back in the corner.

wdwerker Posted March 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 I haven't tried the Jet version. Those screw holes would let you mount them to a jig if building multiple doors of similar size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
