T500rs clamp and stand question.

[Mini Stiggy]

Im thinking about getting a T500rs but my only concern is the clamps. Those of you that have one, do you think it would clamp onto this?

Yep

Yep

Nope! I think you missed the bar that runs under the table top there between the feet.
The T500 clamp goes quite a bit under the table. I think it's about 70mm to 75mm in from the edge of the table.

OP, you can clamp it in another way. Grab a board a bit wider than the wheel and hardmount the wheel onto it, than use two small wood clamps to secure the wheel to the table. In the end it might even be sturdier as well.

Hard mounting is the way to go. My T500 claw broke more easily than I expected it would. =(

I agree with Logiforce, but an alternative might be to drill two 6mm holes in the table, thread two short lengths of M6 threaded rod (or use bolts with the heads cut off) into the T500 then fasten the T500 to the table using M6 butterfly nuts.

You have to be careful not to screw bolts too far into the T500 (from memory I think it is 10mm, but check in the instruction booklet) so if using threaded rod damage the thread at the correct distance to stop it screwing in too far. Use mudguard washers to spread the load under the butterfly nuts.

Just an idea that might work if you can't permanently hard mount the wheel.

Thanks guys:tup:. If someone could post a picture of the clamps fully extended, with a ruler for reference, that would be great.

Another question. Does anyone have the T500rs with the CSL stand? I know it says it's compatible, but is there a lot of wobble?
