The combined forces keep your workpieces flat and eliminate the need for two or more different clamps. Baader Planetariums (the first patented product of our company) help all over the world to give students an understanding of astronomical correlations. The breakthrough dovetail clamp arm design gives you the freedom to create your own track grooves using a dovetail router bit to clamp virtually anywhere.

The PLUS dovetail clamp with 1 Kg counterweight can be connected to any Vixen or Losmandy style dovetail bar for a proper weight balance, when you can't have a perfect weight balance moving the telescope in its support rings.They mark the exact center line of the bar, as well as the seperation of the screw holes of Celestron telescopes and Astro-Physics mounting rings, so that you can easily drill. Again, these are measured by the interferometer when we take measurements of the optical surface after adjustment. These are values which ideally would be at 0 but as our test optics are all curved lenses, there will always be astigmatism and coma present. Once the Zygo test report has been completed, the optical alignment is thoroughly tested and tuned to ensure they are spot on before they leave us. When cookies and similar technologies are used, data may also be processed in countries that are not part of the European Economic Area.

The MatchFit Ratchet Clamp AP boasts an impressive 7-inch clamp capacity and a deep 2-1/2-inch throat depth, accommodating various sizes and types of workpieces. All of our dovetail bars do have integrated, deepened marking lines over the whole length of the bar. It’s a design that widens the horizon of your creative possibilities, enhancing your capability and empowering your craft. The GTO 1100 and GTO 1600 series are especially remarkable, because they are fully transportable - despite their high instrument load.

No more dealing with frustrating slips, no more unexpected drops—just reliable consistency that optimizes your precision and efficiency in every project. I saw a video where someone tested the pressure needed to pull the clamp through, mdf failed, but ply and hardwood was good.

The PV rating (Peak To Valley) is a measurement from the highest point (Peak) to the lowest point (Valley). Base and flank cutter in dovetail form for milling dovetail-shaped rabbets and producing auxiliary devices and stops for the Matchfit dovetail screw clamps No. The MATCHFIT dovetail set is to be inserted into matching grooves which you can mill according to your needs with the dovetail.

I'm going to make another one soon with some height for vertical boards that I want to pass through my table saw. I found it far better to use the straight bit from the system and then the dovetail, when compared to cutting directly with the dovetail. We consider it our duty and obligation, not only to sell telescopes, but an indivdually selected telescope system, that brings you a lifetime of joy.It includes both the big dovetail clamp Vixen+Losmandy PLUS and the adapter for the AZ-EQ5 type mount. With any standard 1/2" 14 degree dovetail router bit, you can create your own clamp tracks, eliminating the need for expensive aluminum tracks. I've seen lots of online stuff where folk use both types of clamp in slots they've cut or built into wood but have not tried it myself (ignoring the fact I don't own either sort) as like you say, they do seem unreasonably expensive but also as I can't help thinking that's really not what they're designed for as any pressure in the opposite direction to that of the clamping force is acting on a weakened part of the timber. Offers a new means of integrating adjustable clamping into a jig securely and out of the way of blades and bits.
