Crucible Holdfasts – produced from ductile iron in a century-old Illinois household foundry – at the moment are again in inventory. These beefy, 1″-diameter holdfasts are based mostly on an outdated French design salvaged from a barn. They work constantly in benches from 2″ to eight″ thick for 3 causes: a decent match between the shaft and gap, a tough floor end and the truth that its shaft isn’t tapered. And due to these qualities, it additionally will clamp objects as a lot as 8″ off the benchtop.
And in case you missed it, one other software that’s been long-awaited can also be now out there – the Crucible Card Scraper.
