I just put together two Maximus clamps on 5 foot bars. I figured that the arm and foot might slide off the bar during transport or possibly while setting them up around a workpiece, so i drilled and tapped 5/16" x 1" bolts near each end. That way the arms won’t fall off inadvertently, but the bolts can be removed easily to use the arms on a different bar length. 1/4" bolts would have worked fine - I just had some 5/16" bolts handy. Quik-clamps use roll pins to hold their arms on the bar, but I wanted to easily remove the bolts if need be. ![IMG_9933](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/fireball/original/1X/811c8d18fa54cd0e11b2535c72253b4e8d802554.jpeg) ![IMG_9932](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/fireball/original/1X/84cc9452c605740d937353f34d51c2e978a7fa38.jpeg) ---

Great mod. Definitely the right way to do it. I’m lazy I guess, I just gave the end of the tube a quick smack with a hammer causing the end do bulge just enough to keep it from falling off. ---

Well I just got the two magic squares for a specific job a fella wants me to build, haven’t used them yet. And the clamps just got here last time home so haven’t used them yet either, but thinking I’m gonna be useing the heck of them from here on out, I had been struggling with some old junk ones for years and was pumped up when you came out with the Maximus and mini Maximus, (just ordered another set of mini’s last night). It’s not very xciting but the tool I use on almost a daily basis is those two 5/8” quick clamps. Not sure if you can see In my old table there is a line of holes I mag drilled years ago. I use them for holding part I’m drilling , grinding , cutting with torch, buffing, hood parts straight to weld, everything thing. I’ve hung large pieces of plate over the side with one jack stand to steady the plate on other side to plasma cut parts out. Knowing how handy just one row of holes is , I can’t wait to get my fixture table started, the jig is collecting dust up there right now!
