The clamp that holds a file — or a diamond file, or a ceramic stone — onto an SVST Pro Edge Beveler guide.
It is a small part doing an important job. A file that shifts in the guide changes the angle mid-stroke, which defeats the entire purpose of using a guide, and a clamp that loosens through a session produces edges that are subtly different from tip to tail.
- Aluminium clamping mechanism
- Holds files, diamond files and ceramic stones
- Precision thumb screw for a firm, adjustable grip
- For SVST Pro Edge Beveler file guides
Thumb screw rather than a tool is deliberate: you change abrasives several times in a tune — file, then coarse stone, then fine — and anything requiring a hex key adds friction that ends with people skipping steps.
A spare is worth having. This is the part of a guide that goes missing, and a beveler without a clamp is not a beveler.
Fits the Pro Edge Beveler. Use with guide files and stones.

Solid grip on files and diamond stones
This works exactly as advertised, very secure grip, allow file to bite and track more accurately with your guide. So much better than a spring clamp.

skip or change to bolt with wingnut style or use wrench
I got this because I saw a pro tuner using it with a panzer file, but he had swapped it for a hex bolt which he tightened with a tool. I can see why. I cannot grip the tiny knurled thumbscrew to get good clamping results. The file twists around. Because my file was sharp, I wound up using the 1" spring clamp and applying less force. I'll keep an extra panzer file on hand rather than need this clamp.

Thumb Screw Clamp
Works well with thinner files and stones. I mostly use spring clamps.
-
Much more accurate
I find the clamp much superior to the spring clamp.I can put more pressure without deflection and not trade off accuracy.
