Trying to source a cam clamp

[siggy_7]

I bought a Record TS250-RS table saw recently. When crosscutting, I have mainly been using the fence ahead of the stock to be cut, as the geometry of the sliding beam and outrigger support the weight better that way. To improve accuracy and ease of use with larger panels, I'd like to get a cam clamp to run in the t-slot on the crosscut fence, similar to this (which is on an Axminster MJ12-1600):

A bit of searching hasn't turned anything up. Does anyone have any ideas?

I found a drill press hold down on the Rutlands site, I'm tempted to take a punt on it but there aren't any decent views or info to see if it can be adapted:

I might try Axminster also to see if I can buy the clamp separately, good idea.

Axminster got back to me with a quote for the pictured clamp of about £90, which would need to be ordered in especially with a 12-16 week wait. Seems like not a really high price for the clamp, but I might try the drill press one instead and see if that will work.
