The holdfast I'll be giving to him to model will be the gramercy ones

Whether or not they'll actually look that I don't know right now. I won't really any more details until a week or two once he has the gramercy in his hands and he gives me the yay or nay. I can't imagine it would look too different really, it's a common design and works well.

[Mike.C]

Colin thanks very much for taking the time to post the photos. There are so many on the market from the cheap and nasty to the best, with some strange looking ones in between, so I just needed to know what you had in mind. :wink:

Count me in mate, if the price is right.

Cheers

Mike

 

[ByronBlack]

Mike - how many would you want?

 

[Mike.C]

Mike - how many would you want?

I don't want to let you down or mess your order up mate, so can I say two at the moment, but if the price is real good then four. Does that make sense?

Cheers

Mike

Count me in Colin. I'll have a pair if they're comparable to the Gramercy in performance/price. I have one thanks to Wizer's generosity a while back, and can confirm that they're absolutely the mutt's nuts. Also they don't seem overly fussy about hole size - mine works almost as well in a 20mm hole in 45mm thick chipboard/blockboard as it does in a 19mm hole in 50mm Oak.

I may be wrong (it's not unheard of), but I seem to remember reading somewhere that the Gramercy ones were made of spring steel - just a thought.

 

[ByronBlack]

Mike - there is no issue of letting me down - like I said, currently there is no commitment, i'm just gauging the rough numbers so if the smithy is happy doing them I can negotiate on price, so i'm just looking for a rough idea of what every would like in an ideal world if they were priced right.

Mark - glad you confirmed your experience of the gramercy's - its nice to know it works well in differing benchtop thicknesses.
