Mahuna Posted May 31, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 31, 2013 In the "Legacy of a Ship Model" Rob Napier refers several times to using Preac clamps for clamping small pieces. In the photos they look like "c" clamps with a knurled knob for tightening. I've tried searching the web for these, but can't find any reference to them. Has anyone used these, and can you tell me where I might find them?

lamarvalley Posted May 31, 2013 Share #2 Posted May 31, 2013 Hi Frank, I've used a lot of different kinds of clamps in my day but never heard of these. Could you include a picture because I'm at a loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davec Posted June 1, 2013 Share #4 Posted June 1, 2013 I don't think you will be able to find them, unless you find someone willing to part with a used set. Preac tool company made a great thickness sander and small table saw, and previously made the small c-clamps in the picture. Charlie Files who ran Preac passed away last year, and it appears the company has closed. The clamps had not been available for several years even while Preac was still in business.
