IDEA NOTE Eccentric cam for less frequent setups.

Clamping with an eccentric cam and a clamp lever for setup is labor intensive, but risk of accidental unclamping is low and suitable for less frequent setups.

IDEA NOTE Metal collars used as toggle clamp risers.

Hold down surface for toggle clamps are generally designed to be at the same height as mounting flange seating surface. When the clamping surface is higher than the seating surface use spacers to compensate for height difference. However, if the height difference is too big,clamping force may decrease.

IDEA NOTE Obtaining the optimum functionality by modifying standard toggle clamps.

The workpiece holding toggle clamp (Long arm) is originally for a different purpose, but by replacing the hold down bolts with fully threaded studs and directly mounting custom press pad on them can provide optimum functionality as a workpiece hold down device.
