Q: What does a toggle clamp plate do?
A toggle clamp plate attaches to the bottom of a Bessey auto-adjust toggle clamp, letting you position the clamp anywhere you can drill a hole instead of bolting it permanently to one spot.

Choose an option to view item availability.
These mounting plates attach to the bottom of a Bessey auto-adjust toggle clamp, allowing you to quickly position the clamp anywhere you can drill a hole instead of permanently attaching it to a surface.
One has a 5" long steel post that is easy to insert into any 3/4" diameter hole, but cants slightly when clamping force is applied so that barb-shaped ridges along its length prevent upward movement. The thickness of the aluminum plate adds 3/8" to the maximum capacity of the horizontal clamps, but doesn't affect their minimum; you can still adjust the clamps to hold materials as thin as a sheet of paper against a surface. The center height of the in-line clamp is increased to 1 1/4".
The other mounting plate lets you easily position the clamp in the dog holes of the Festool MFT/3 multifunction table instead of permanently attaching it to a surface. The 20mm diameter post on the plate is 11/16" long, just less than the table top's 3/4" thickness. To secure the plate, it is threaded internally for use with an MFT accessory clamping knob; while most MFT owners already have a few extra Festool knobs around, an inexpensive star-shaped knob can be purchased separately.
Bolts for mounting a clamp are included. A more efficient way to use already convenient clamps. Made in Canada.
We also offer the toggle clamp plate as a set with a high-profile horizontal, low-profile horizontal or in-line clamp.

The 3/4" post fits standard bench dog holes and adds 3/8" to the clamp's maximum capacity, while the 20mm post is sized for Festool MFT/3 multifunction tables; choose the post that matches the dog holes already in your bench or table.
Yes, each toggle clamp plate ships with the mounting bolts needed to attach it to a Bessey auto-adjust toggle clamp.
Yes, the 3/4" post has barb-shaped ridges that resist upward movement once it's seated in the dog hole, so the clamp stays put under load.
Not necessarily; the plate is designed to attach to Bessey auto-adjust toggle clamps specifically, so a different brand's mounting pattern may not match.
