MICROJIG Matchfit DVC-1177K2 Dovetail Clamp Pro, Green/Yellow/Silver

Product Information

Also a screw kit is included for mounting the dovetail clamp direct on the top of the handle of all BRESSER Messier und EXPLORE-SCIENTIFIC telescopes. This intuitive design empowers you to make rapid adjustments, smoothly transitioning between tasks and setups without missing a beat. Offers a new means of integrating adjustable clamping into a jig securely and out of the way of blades and bits. Once the measurement has been taken, we are provided with a series of results that show the optical quality of the surface plus other information.

I will be using this on my Skywatcher Star Adventurer mount, so making use of the photo-adapter thread. They provided an excellent and friendly service as per usual (I genuinely can't recommend this company enough!Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). This clamp is very similar in appearance (apart from being black not silver) and layout to the existing TS one that I have been using. The prism clamp has 2 x 6mm countersunk holes (35mm hole spacing) and 3 additional 1/4" photo tapped holes at 120 degrees angular distance on a pitch circle diameter of 55 mm to allow a versatile adaptation to a variety of other telescopes and adapter plates. Despite its strong 595 lb clamping force, the No-Mar clamp pad ensures a firm grip without causing any damage to your materials.

One difference from the TS Optics item is that although the bolt holes have the requisite 35mm spacing the holes are a mite larger in diameter.Speed up your workflow with the quick-release trigger, a vital feature of the MatchFit Ratchet Clamp AP. Within the interferometer is a calibrated laser that is pointed through the optical test surface, then onto a high quality reference sphere, then back through the test subject then to an internal camera which gives us the measurement on the screen. The dovetail clamps provide the connection to telescopes support plates and are useful to create support instruments like side-by-side plates (to support two telescopes in parallel on the same mount) or to allow the precise positioning of the guide rings (to adjust precisely the weight balance). I have a question about the Matchfit clamps and Festool/Makita track: can these clamps replace the dedicated track clamps used to hold down the track? Use Dovetail Hardware to make stops and hold-downs that move freely, and tighten down anywhere you can route a groove.
