Where can I find these at a decent price? I heard they run specials on these clamps from time to time.

The other place I got a good deal on clamps was at the Toronto Woodworking show last March. Gros Stabil (owned by Bessey) k-bodies were on sale there for less than half price.
doug, in a production setting (like i think you`re setting up?) bar clamps are used for assembly more than panel production. for assembly i really prefer the "i"beam style clamps like most of us used in highschool.....they don`t have parallel jaws or plastic covers but they`ll flat out move stuff that`s trying to be stuborn.....for panel/door glue-ups i`m kinda fond of the jlt set-up it`s a real space saver and has proven itself in lotsa shops to be a worthwhile investment. here`s a quick pic of an old "i"beam clamp. and i`ll include a link to the jlt site........sorry no advice to help save money on besseys .....tod

doug, doucet makes good clamps best i can tell........i`ve never used `em only seen pictures ......the jlt`s are what everybody i know who can`t afford a high freq. drier uses.....i don`t do mitered doors so i`ve not researched clamps for them......but the guys at jlt are easy to talk to if ya` want to give `em a call. the other clamping system i use is a large vacuum bag for doing face laminations.....if you`re going to be doing passage/entry doors a vacuum set-up can be a real labor saver.....tod
