Accessories: Editorial Review: Product Description: The Single Clamp is a simple and straight forward tool. Most commonly used as a straight edge guide for making clean cuts with your circular saw and router. Other uses include but not limited to; a fence for a table saw and drill press. Amazon.com Product Description: The E. Emerson Tool Company A-50 All-in-One 50-Inch Grip Clamp Guide uses edge to edge clamps that are quickly adjustable and low profile, unobtrusive jaws to secure wood while staying out of your way. The tall, wide jaws provide flexibility, and the jaw holes accept steel jaw teeth for use on steel tables, and the scale ruler can be used for metric or inch measurements. The built-in T-track accommodates all manner of accessories, such as router plates, stop blocks, and jigs. The clamp thickness matches 3/4-inch plywood sheets, and a micro-adjustable stop provides superior precision in a tool given 5 stars by Popular Woodworking magazine. Average Rating:

When cutting a sheet of 4-foot-wide 3/4" plywood, it clamps securely, but the guide can flex significantly if you push too hard in the middle, resulting in a cut that is not straight. The less wide the wood, the less of an issue this is. I was able to push mine more than the reported 1/16" in the middle when used across a sheet of plywood (4'). To me, ANY amount of flexing is a problem, because ... Read More Rating:  - E. Emerson Tool Customer Service?????6/22/08 Ordered this item on April 24th 2008 and it was promptly received. Upon examination I noticed that it would not work. Returning the item was not an option, so I looked up e emerson tool online and was happy to find a useful website with exploded views of their tools. It was obvious that the tool was missing a part. An e-mail was sent and I waited.... On may 22nd I received a reply stating that they were short handed and they were sorry that it took so long to get back to me. I was assured that the ...
