Not the best of clamps. I have a few and wish I had spent a few more bucks
on some better ones like Jorgensen's or Besseys. Although I have plenty of
those too. But it is impossible to have enough clamps. Somehow I know I'd
find a way to use a warehouse full of them.

If you are interested in building your own vacuum press system, let me know.
I can help you with it. I just spent 2 weeks researching it on the net.
Finally got everything ordered. Should have it up and running in the next
week or so.

Which, as Doug Winterburn noted, just happens to be co-located with
Grizzly. I've seen the Woodstock International sign in the Grizzly
parking lot in Bellingham. It seems pretty likely that they are very
tightly related. A lot of Shop Fox stuff is just Grizzly models with
slightly different motors and paint, but Grizzly also sells Shop Fox
items alongside the Grizzly stuff in the Grizzly catalog.

I believe "Shop Fox" is manufactured by "Woodstock International
Inc.". See:

There may also be some subtle distinctions in the tools. I have a Shop
Fox floor mounted radial drill press and was just looking at the Grizzly
equivalent. There are some characteristics that are different. Not in
a major way but enough to be curious.

Also, Grizzly is only sold through the three Grizzly stores whereas Shop
Fox can be sold through other distributors.

Folks,
Unless something has changed, or I have been misinformed by folks at
Woodstock International, Shop Fox is the tool development division of
Woodstock, where as Grizzly is the power tool division. The corporate
organization may be somewhat different, but functionally, I believe that
this is accurate. Somewhat like Lee Valley and Veritas - Veritas is the tool
development division of Lee Valley - at least functionally. There is
probably a separation for lability reasons - a fairly common corporate
practice.

You've got plenty of responses, so I'll just toss in what I read - is that
Shop Fox was Grizzly's way of producing equipment to be sold retail, as
opposed to direct.
If there are differences between a piece of Shop Fox gear and a
corresponding Grizzly piece, their largely cosmetic or "upgrades". IIRC,
the warranty is one year longer on the 'Fox.

Notice their three locations happen to be identical to the three Grizzly

I would guess they use the Shop Fox label to sell their iron through
other dealers, since Grizzly tools are only available directly from
Grizzly.
As others have mentioned, they aren't trying to be sneaky, you can buy
the Shop Fox line from Grizzly as well.

Please put it up on a web site. If you don't have one I'd be glad to put it
up on one of mine.

Many thanks to everyone...
I'm actually in the UK and am interested in
the clamps to make a veneer press.
I want to contact them to see if their
clamps are available in Europe.
Interesting comment from Rick comparing
the Jorgsen clamps... I can get Jorgsen press
clamps in the the UK - £29 - $50 ish!
There are also other options that I'm
considering from our own Axminster.
Still a bit expensive - I'm beginning to
think a vacuume bag press might be cheaper!
Anyway - many thanks for the help.
Roy
Have you tried a google search for "shop fox"...first place to look then ask
for help...
