Rockler Straight-Line Rip Hold-Down Clamps, 2-Pack

Slabs and rough-cut lumber often lack a straight reference edge, which is a must for safe ripping and squaring. If you don't have a jointer or a large band saw, creating that straight edge can be tough. That's where our Straight-Line Rip Hold-Down Clamps come in handy. They make it easy to create a table saw jig or sled that rides against your table saw's fence, resulting in a perfectly straight edge.

Straight-Line Rip Hold-Down Clamps Details:

• Rip a straight edge on rough lumber or slabs up to 40'' long and 1-5/8'' thick at the table saw
• Just mount this hardware to a straight board or a plywood panel that runs along the saw's rip fence
• Use with the included adjustable board supports for ripping workpieces from 3'' to 7'' wide
• For wider boards, remove the board supports and screw the clamp assemblies to a wider piece of plywood for full support
