remember the taylor kerfing clamps? Well I got some and they are wicked
cool! They sell them with like 130 of them in a package, which is a lot,
but they are nice. Two sizes..one about 3/4 inch wide and one about 1/2
wide. I have not got to use them yet, but early reports are good! You can
buy them str8 from taylor.

it must be telepathy, for i was going to post asking whether you were ready to give an after action report report on them.

can't remember whether you mentioned the cost before?

I could not find them on the Taylor web site. Where can they be found?

You have to call Taylor to get them. I had a friend that is a Taylor
authorized repairman, and he ordered them for me. Here is a pic from
charlie hoffman's site. I think they cost about $130 or so for the 120
clamps

Here's another alternative for those who use triangular or similarly shaped linings. These little clamps are from LMI. I just bought 30 of them to try out and they worked very well. About the same price as the Taylor clamps and I like stuff made out of wood. They rely on small rubber bands for pressure, so eventually they'll have to be replaced, but should last for quite awhile. Just another alternative........ The Taylor clamps look great too.

Either one looks good to me. Although, I would be a little more worried about the wooden ones adhering to the glue. Could cause some problems.

Don't think that would be a problem with the plastic ones.

Are the Taylor clamps plastic? I thought they were metal.
