Jack,

How about routing a groove around the centre of the edge of the cam and stretching a rubber O-ring over the cam that would then remain in the groove?
Just a thought.

: I've got to admit that I got the idea for the CamClamps from looking at an
: edge clamp in a tool a catalog. I couldn't justify spending $15 per clamp
: considering how many you need for staple-less stripping. I built mine for
: $1.85 each.

: I am considering the following improvements.

: 1. Springs on the cams so they exert some preasure to lock the cams with out
: me having to squeese them. Right now you have to use both hand work them

: 2. I need a better coating for the cams. Sandpaper tends to scratch the
: surface if they slip.

: 3. The CamClamps work great pressing the stip aginst the form while gripping
: the form. They don't do much to force the bead into the previous cove
: unless it is used between forms as shown above. I tried wedges but they
: just rotate the clamp. I am thinking about a couple of solutions to this.
: Anyone got some suggestions

: Regards,

: Jack
