Securely hold and precisely position your stampings and other flat pieces with the Swanstrom® SawPlate and Gary’s Clamp, designed for enhanced precision and ease during sawing and piercing tasks.
SawPlate
The Swanstrom® SawPlate is made from durable aluminum and provides a stable surface for positioning metal discs and flat stampings while improving ergonomics. A replaceable plastic bearing surface ensures smooth rotation of the clamp and your workpiece. Locking screws keep the plate, clamp, and material securely in place. This SawPlate is compatible with the GRS® BenchMate® system, Jayne Redman’s bench pin system, Knew Concepts mounting and accessory plates, Gary’s Clamp, and any other 2.5” (63.5mm) diameter clamp (all sold separately).
Gary’s Clamp
Invented by Gary Hutchinson and manufactured by Swanstrom® Tools, Gary’s Clamp features four movable fingers for securely holding stampings and flat pieces. Its round shape and adjustable fingers allow for easy rotation, making it ideal for working with various shapes. The steel clamping screws incorporate Delrin® washers to prevent marring the workpiece when secured.
