$50 would be very reasonable. $150 to $200 is unreasonable to me. but then again if I don’t find one, before long it simply Hass to happen. I hate to buy a single tool that’ll cost more then

That looks amazing, I need to make one of those for myself, importing one from USA to my remote island location just costs too much. Are the dimensions/plans available for me to have a crack at making

Found these at a flea Market today.? M12 X 1 Not bad for $1.00 each Jim in Minnesota

I have one that I 3D printed.? It turned out very well, and fits the Unimat bed rails perfectly. I have only taken it this far as I don't really need one because I have a couple of originals. I would
