Hi Lenny, Now, the clamp slides along the rod until it engages the edge of the board right? How do you lock it there? Is there then a way to pull the jaws really firmly edge-to-edge so the clamp can't slide with pressure applied laterally as would happen if you were holding a router tight to the rail for cutting a dado?
Thanks.
