hey, i'm looking for an online source for these or something similar by whatever maker anyone knows about. thanks! http://www.kopal-carossino.com/download/Kopal_catalog_vertical_clamp_36_37.pdf

I think Kopal was bought by Mitee Bite. I'm pretty sure MSC sells these, but also check out Mitee Bits's site to see if there is a local disctributor for you.

You may want to check out Lenzkes. They sell some high quality, similar items, they sell direct & they're pretty generous about sample evaluation pieces presumming you're a real business. I like their stuff.
www.lenzkesusa.com

mitee bite does have them, the lenzkes look great and i hope they might be cheaper. these are not for me but for a friend who has a professional shop and they just bought in a few new cnc milling machines and they need clamps and the kopal cost about $460 per unit at the local importer which seems insane.

the best price i got for the kopal clamps was at http://www.cutting-tool-supply.com so if someone looks in the future - this is the place to buy. i am just waiting for a shipping quote and i'll order them for my friend's shop.
