A blade clamp idea - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

CanadianScroller · 02-19-2006, 11:40 PM

I am a firm believer that ideas are not much good if you do not share them.
That being said I am sure someone can make some money with this idea. I know it won't be me

Here is a blade clamp I have been working on. I do not have the expertise required to make it.

I hope Doug Woodward sees it or someone else with engineering background.
Gill sparked the idea with a self tensioning clamp that works with one lever.
All I ask, if someone makes one, and makes some money, make one for me too

Hi Carl

I reckon it's a fine design but my engineering skills are on a par with Dick Cheney's shooting skills, so my opinion doesn't really count.

I'll send Paul Woodward a copy and ask for his (and/or his father's) opinion.

I sure hope this is not offensive to anyone . Dick Cheney made me do it

If it is offensive, I will understand if it needs to be removed.

BTW Carl;
That is one awsome looking design for a blade clamp.
Just one question . We think of a collet as having a round hole in it. With this design I would imagine the collet is just like a flat plate on either side to grip the blade ? ? ?
You should get a patent on it before some manufacturer jumps on the idea and takes all the credit for it.

Thanks Bill, the collet slot would be flat yes.

As far as patents go they are a little out of my price range. Like I said as long as I get one I don't care who makes it.
