Kreg KBC6 Automaxx Bench Clamp, 6 Inch

I built a clamping table with Kreg rails and these clamps work well with the table. I found with the length of these clamps make them more versatile. The first ones I got were not made by Kreg and would not adjust correctly ( Chinese ) I would buy again if needed. ( KREG )

I already had the KBC3, which I like a lot. I added the KBC6 for the extra reach. On both of them the auto clamping pressure works great. The non-marring tip probably could make a dimple in very soft wood but only if the pressure setting was incorrect for the job. Properly used it is non-marring.The non-marring tip articulates easily to match the surface of the clamped item. There is plenty of room under the lower handle to easily get a grip for closing the clamp, and with no danger to your knuckles. It releases easily with a tug to lift the upper handle. Basically it's fast and easy to use.Three of the KBK-IP Kreg Bench Klamp Insert Plates are mounted in my workbench. Those plates will mount either the KBC3 or KBC6. Love the versatility.Great tool.

This is a great clamp and, contrary to the listing, you can use it without the Kreg accessory track!I have suffered along with my adjustable clamp on my drill press for years. It works, but you spend a lot of time turning the adjusting screw for different work pieces. The Kreg clamp is totally self adjusting and totally secure. On top of that, it has a pressure pad already installed to keep from marking my (mostly wood) projects. The one adjustment knob just changes the pressure on the piece you are clamping.I adapted it to the steel table on my drill press by drilling out a fender washer to 5/16". The bolt for the clamp fit perfectly and the washer gives enough support to keep the bolt head from pulling through the slot in the table.Super quality from one of my fav brands. I use their pocket screw stuff all the time, too. Just get these!

I am making more face frames these days (still practicing) and these clamps coupled with the clamp track is like having an extra set of hands, many hands some times. They do exactly what they are suppose to and them clamp very tightly. Keeps things in place while screwing in pocket hole screws.Fit in the track perfectly and easy to slide or move around if needed. Plus they also work with the adapters for dog holes. Multi purpose bonus.Only negative I have, as others have mentioned, they do not always automatically adjust properly. Some times it is hit and miss. But even still, as useful as they are, I will more than happily deal with this little quirk. It is a little quirk to me. Also, as with almost all the kreg clamps, I wish they operated a little smoother. Not a big deal, just something I notice.A little pricey, but they are heavy duty, so you get what you pay for. Glad I have them in my little shop.

the clamp is versatile and well made although a bit pricey. The packaging, as is Amazon's norm recently was abysmal. Three clamps tossed in a plastic mailer bag. They had "retail display" packaging which prevented damage although broken off of them in the process and poking through the bag. I got two steel sawhorses in the same order. One came in, apparently it's original box. The other came banging around in a box that could have held at least four of them. It had one piece of tape stuck to one flap only. Only fate kept the horse in the box undamaged. Apparently Amazon can't get competent help these days.

Added the 6" kbc6 clamp to the 3" clamp I've been using with my klamp trak. I will probably get another 3" and 6" clamp, really handy on the 2 lengths of klamp trak mounted about 3" in on the front of my 4x8' work bench. When I think of all of the clamping challenges of the past, this whole thing works great. Just finished edge joining some 7/8" thick walnut boards to make wide laundry area shelves, got to love kreg tools.

This clamp is amazing. It is super simple to use, and the automaxx technology is great. It automatically gauges the thickness of the workpiece, and puts just the right amount of pressure to hold it well. You can change the clamping pressure with a little knob (before clamping it), then it will always just clamp at that pressure until you change it again. All you need is a T-track.

I dont know why I waited so long to buy these. They are so helpful and so much easier to use than struggling with traditional clamps on the workbench. Just be sure you have heavy duty screws holding down your T-tracks. I pulled my tracks out if the workbench with these the first time I used them. After installing heavier, longer screws they have been perfect.
