Machine Floor Locks
Anyone with a machine on wheels—
especially a tablesaw or planer—
understands the necessity of locking it
in place before using it. I use a pair of
toggle clamps connected to rods. I
position the machine where I want it
and lock the toggle clamps down, as
shown above. To keep the tool level,
threaded rods adjust the clamp height
so the wheels barely leave the ground.
