Like most Industrial Arts teachers 1 am always on the lookout for student safety. Some might say that we have been doing it for years — even before the powers that be thought it was important. Two products that have certainly taken my interest in thelast couple of months are the Lidwigs X4 clamp and the Magjig. Both of these are great innovations in the materials they use, the way they operate and their simplicity of use. Employed separately (Photo. 1) or combined (Photo.3) in a custom jig, theyare very effective at keeping students' hands away from machining operations. Their application reduces teacher setup time dramatically and significantly improves accuracy.
