same clamp. its worth a try

I saw the same clamp on a Craftsman 16" SS but you can't get parts for that either.  Before the clamp broke I was really getting into this and lining up projects.  Of course on SSW I'm now bitten by the Intarsia bug.
Here's a photo:

Craftsman still has blade clamps that will work.  I just looked at mine and the clamp looks the same.  I'll dig through my books and see if I can find a part number.

Thanks Beginner!  I'd like to get it working and try and get my girlfriend into it.  No-one touches my DW788! ;)

  have you tried sears parts? if you know the model# or part # they may have
it. i looked up this model--113.236090. they show a clamp that might be like what you want. sears has a lot of ss. they must change pretty often..

Termite!!!!  Your my HERO!!  That's the same clamp.  They used it on other models but when you look at them they say it's NA, but, for this model they have it.  Soon as I get paid it's mine.
THANKS!!
