I am cleaning out my shop and found that I have a complete set of Taylor
aluminum kerfing clamps. By my count there are 31 small ones and 98 large
ones (give or take one or two). I bought them several years ago direct from
Taylor and found that I just do not use them anymore. Best offer takes them!

Sylvan... didn't you like these? I have looked at them several times. I always think they look great, but just couldn't bring myself to part with the cash.... I am curious what you thought of them.

Brock, I've thought the same. I have wondered what it would cost to have someone with a CNC make up a big batch of them.

I have some and they are groovy. The bad thing is if your not using the
same size/style kerfing as Taylor then it tends to put pressure on the
wide part of the kerfing rather than the narrow/edge of the kerfing and
that can lead to unsightly gaps.
