Does not fit standard T-track
"This clamp does not fit standard T-track. It requires Kreg T-track. That track is 1/2" thick and if inset into 3/4 stock will weaken that stock to the point it is not usable for shop fixtures. I tried to adapt the clamp to standard T-track but even at the lowest clamp pressure it bent the heck out of the t-track. If you want to use this on a KREG clamping board I am sure it is fine, but it does not work on home-built fixtures."
Versatile clamp
"Prepping 1 inch rough sawn hardwood boards and 2. 5 inch slabs with a router sled prior to planing for table and cabinet projects. Built two 4x8 tables that are joined together to help accomplish the task. I have drilled multiple 3/4 inch holes 3 inches on center to facilitate clamp placement. These clamps work great and can be moved anywhere in about 30 seconds. They are strong enough to pin down partially twisted oak, cherry, and hickory lumber to initiate the planing process. Once adjusted they are easily moved and reapplied at a different location without readjustment. I have 3 of the 6 inch clamps and one 3 inch clamp that I have strenuously put them to the test without problems and they have made a difficult process much more manageable"
Added to the Kreg Clamp
"Added to the Kreg Clamp Table I picked up on clearance. Using the four clamps (two 3-inch came with the Clamp Table) on to sand 8' 2x6 it is like having an additional helper. The quick release is a great time saver. I can flip or reposition the board is under 30 seconds instead of unscrewing and retightening four traditional clamps. I was using a Dewalt 20v hand planer, belt sander, then orbital sander to go from 80 grit progressively to 220 grit -- a long process that the Kreg clamps and Clamp Table probably saved me a half hour and a lot of frustration."

Works well
"I bought two of these with the dog-hole anchors. The pressure adjuster on one of them was sticky - like there was a burr in the mechanism somewhere - but a little WD-40 freed it up and it has been fine since then. The dog-hole anchors use beefy bolts in the holes with a nut and a wide plastic nut holder to anchor the clamp. On a normal thickness table those bolts would be just fine, but my worktable is enough thicker than I could engage only two or perhaps three threads of the bolts. I made a quick trip to the hardware store with one of the bolts in hand, got two new ones that are half an inch longer, and the clamps now anchor tightly and with no threat of stripping out the bolt threads. For Kreg - I have no idea if I'm the only one with a thicker than "standard" dog-hole work table (could easily be the situation), but I suspect it wouldn't make much of a dent in your profit margin if you included bolts that are half an inch longer than what is now included."
Awesome clamps
"Love the fact that they auto adjust! Many uses, gonna put T-tracs everywhere!"
Q&A
- Will these work in standard T-Track?
- No, the pressure created when clamping with these is too much for standard t tracks.
- Will this clamp work with Adaptive Cutting System track?
- No, none of the tracks on the ACS System will work with the Bench Clamps.
- Would this clamp work with the Kreg circular saw track (KMA2700) to be able to hold the track onto a material?
- No, this will not work with the Accu-Cut. You will need the KMA7520 Track Clamps. https://www.kregtool.com/shop/cutting/circular-saw-cutting/track-clamps/KMS7520.html
- Will the Bench Clamp’s non-marring clamp pad work on the Face Clamps?
- Due to different head styles, the non-marring pad that comes with your Bench Clamp™ will not work with our Face Clamp™ family. Non-marring pads are usually unnecessary when using our Face Clamps™, as they are generally not used to apply the same amount of clamping pressure as our Bench Clamps™ are.
- How do I adjust my Automaxx® Clamps?
- Kreg® Clamps with Automaxx® make clamping faster and easier than ever by adjusting automatically to clamp materials that are thick, thin, or in between. With Automaxx, there’s no fussing with knobs that adjust the clamp capacity, no fiddling to get the exact pressure you want, no need for thickness adjustment at all — just powerful, predictable clamping every time. Below are some helpful hints to ensure your clamping experience is consistent every time. Remove the clamp from the packaging and test the clamp pressure on your material. If you are happy with the pressure of the clamp, no further adjustment is needed. If you would like more/less clamping pressure, simply open the clamp handles fully. Once open, turn set screw one-half turn (to the positive for more pressure, to the negative for less pressure) to adjust. Try out the clamp on the same material and repeat these steps until the desired pressure is found. Once you are happy with the clamping pressure, the clamp will maintain this same pressure until you change the setting again. If you would like to increase or decrease clamping pressure, follow the previous steps until the appropriate pressure is met. To ensure consistent pressure, open the clamp handles completely each time you move the clamp. This allows the Kreg Automaxx system to reset for the correct clamping pressure. Following these steps will ensure that these clamps will perform their best for all your project-building needs.
