Looking for Universal Clamp Company (California, USA)

Universal Clamp Company makes some handy cast aluminum face frame
clamps and, I just discovered, some useful accessories. My web
searches haven't turned up any contact info; and I wonder if anyone on
the wreck has that. I'm not looking for dealers; but a manufacturer's
rep might be almost as useful.

I think the company /may/ be in the San Diego area; but that's just a
guess.

Not sure what model of face frame clamps you're looking for, but I have a
pair of these ones bought from Lee Valley. They work very well.

Or, if you want to spend a little more, you might consider Bessey edge
clamps.

Thanks for the links - edge clamps I already have. I have some of this
company's clamps which came with a single sheet with line drawings of
(supposedly) available attachments and extensions. I'd like to talk
with them about some new product ideas - difficult to do without any
contact info...

Morris,

I checked the telephone book here in San Diego, and there is no company by
that name listed. Good luck in your search.

Do a google for Ganahl Lumber here in SoCal.

Think they had these clamps some time ago.

Diecast Al clamps for face frame and butt applications if I remember
correctly.

They may be able to help.
