Does a Pneumatic clamping system for the fireball table sound like something you need?

I do a ton of short run production and used to have a 10 part rule for making a jig or fixture until now, with my new table I did a one off frame on the table in less time than it used to take to try and hold a square and still make a crooked part. When we do larger runs I try to integrate quick clamps and pneumatic clamps like this one.


Does anyone know of an off the shelf system for any on the other styles of air clamps that work with the 3/4" table?
They make clamps for push, toggle, spin and clamp and others. It wouldn’t take much for us to come up with a simple modular system that works with the existing table infrastructure and the air lines are all push fit, can be run under the table and configured to toggles or foot switches.

this is cool, I’m already behind on the other projects but I’ll look into this

I have an old “door makers” table that was given to me a while back basically same as fixture table but make out of 3/16. It came with some aluminum body pneumatic push typ clamps, was thinking of one day trying to incorporate into the table I’ll probably never finish. But I would say checking with some furniture makers might be good place to start looking , they have to hold all those glue ups tight for a while.
