cool little clamps,i could see them being used for many other uses as well. thanks rob
I drilled a couple of holes into the flat part of the tall face of my Unifence, sized to allow 1/4" bolts to pass through with a little slop so that I don't have to be super precise making an accessory fence. I generally use counter sunk T-nuts in my accessory fences with a hex head bolt (and washer) from the Unifence side, although, I suspect you could do a countersunk carriage bolt in the accessory fence to the same effect.
I used a Unifence for years and I liked it alot. How about just milling a t-slot in a piece of wood and attaching it to the Unifence carriage in place of the aluminum fence!
How well did milling the T-slot in a piece of wood work? It seems like it might be a hassle to slide the fence off and on.
I'm bummed that I gave away my fence clamp when I sold my old saw. I used MDF and quick-clamps tenuously for the sacrificial fence last time I needed it.
I used something we always referred to as "aircraft nuts". The correct term is "channel nuts". Finding a couple ESL-202's might be a challenge.

You could use other methods, a flange nut epoxied in place, a flange nut with a spring, flush threaded inserts or Tinnerman's nuts. The sacrificial fence would be attached with countersunk flat head machine screws.

T slots on a board is one option as mentioned. Those Rockler clamps can be made to work as well.
