Mini toe clamps

[melsdad]

I'm working on a mini pallet system as seen on the OX Tool YouTube channel. I finished the clamps today. Next Will be the pallet.

This is on my list of things to do. Good workmanship and I can't wait to see the whole thing finished.

Looking nice. You will really like havint a mini pallet once you are done It's amazing how you can live without a tool for a while,but once you have it, you wonder how you ever did without it.

One thing I learned when I did mine: If you have a 2" thick plate, you might want to consider putting 1/4" (or M6) threads on one side and #10 (or M5) threads on the other. Drilling a #10 pilot hole 2" deep is a real pain. By putting a larger size in the other side, you only need to drill 1" deep which is not too bad.

The plate will be 6" x8"x1" thick. The holes wil be 10-32 on a 1" staggered hole pattern.

Brian,

That's very nice work! I, for another, can't wait to see the completed project. Thanks for sharing.

Finished the pallet. All 59 10-32 tapped holes. Now I need a trip to Gander Mountain to get a plano tackle box to store all the s.h.c.s and washers that go along with it.

With such a nice pallet now you can mill a tackle box by yourself :biggrin:
Don't forget caps for the holes you don't use, so they don't become a trash bin for chips, swarf, dog hair, etc.

Nice work, your clamps are a lot nicer than mine. I suggest you chamfer the edges of yours with a countersink in the mill, I did on mine and it makes it a bit more comfy to handle. Not a big deal if you don't though.

Thanks Marco. The holes are drilled and tapped all the way through the pallet so I can just blow them out. I may put set screws in the holes. But that might be a pain after while.
