why has no company done this yet??

[Robert Reichley]

cmopanies could easily fix the problem of strpping out clamps and shit by adding a CNC'd cutout the size and shape of a hex nut on the side of the clamp. then you could easily go to the hardware store and buy a new hex nut if one strips out.. it would the the ULTIMATE clamp.
i really wish some company out there would get this done.
*wasnt my idea by the way, it was from an old thread. i just want to see it get done*

Addict has. Not in scs though.

It would be way more expensive to CNC out that little hex shape on every single one of the clamps/clamp holes. It simply wouldn't be worth it. If you grease and tighten your clamp evenly/properly it should work fine.

Addict is coming out with a new clamp and bolt system that supposed to prevent or eliminate stripping all together.

But wouldnt it be cheaper than Cnc-ing the threads INTO the clamp?

 

[Garrett B]

Lol, you do have a point. I don't really know how they actually make a clamps threads.

Tapping threads is cheaper.

Addict has something out right now and I thought I read that District was releasing a new clamp.

can't find it now.

 

[Dewey]

french id did that a long time ago

 

[Scott Trainer]

Me and Rob both mentioned this a while ago but I cant remember which thread. It would be an awesome idea, but it would be pretty expensive with the extra machining. The part should (theoretically) last you forever though.

I made a thread about this.

You can do this anyway, just put a washer big enough to cover the bolt hole and your good.

dont cnc the whole hex, just shave a rectangular piece out that fits 2 sides of a hex nut just sayin. thats cheep and will hold it fine

this wont work unless its a lucky. most clamps curve on the sides, theyre not straight.. the tension on the bolt will cause it to snap

fasen have done something as well im pretty sure, just look in the eye candy thread
