CAM CLAMP

http://woodworkstuff.net/HoweClamp.html

I just made a router jig with a cam incorporated to hold the stock.
So thought I would find a couple of cam clamp plans and post 'em. I
made a batch of cam clamps years back. Mine are all wood, scrap plywood
in fact, glued, no metal. Once you make the first one it's clear how
amazingly simple they actually are to make. And cheap. And work,
amazingly well in fact. I've scavaged part of mine for other projects
because I've found what I tend to work on need three hands to use a cam
clamp, so usually use metql quick clamps now.

This is very pretty, and very over-complicated. Mine are all wood,
no need for roll-pins, etc,, just glue. Or, you can make 'em fancy,
like this one.
