Swix made one and I just went looking for it and they've discontinued it. Now they just have a vice. The problem with vices is when scraping wax, or often even waxing, the side contacts get in the way. The suction cup ones work really well. I think the consumer version's one design flaw as it had to be bolted to the table (and that's fine for me.) They were only around ~$40 and the new vices are closer to $100.

Anyone know where I can find such a mount, or who makes them these days? I know the Swix pro ones are super spendy. Not looking for those, unless it's a good price.

Clamp it into a bench vise or one of those portable workbench gizmos.

Done !

Hmm, I have neither a bench vise (would need two) nor a workbench gizmo. Any suggestions on those? That looks pretty much exactly what the pro versions look like, except they of course are metal and have a mount on them. With a vise (or two) then I'd have something I could repurpose.

You can also bolt the long yellow plastic handle thingy down to your workbench, giving you a permanent snowboard work stand. Or bolt it to a bike rack so you can work on the board at the slopes.

Those suction cup gizmos are made for auto body work, and they are most useful for pulling out large dents in the middle of body panels. You know, like when your girlfriend laid across the hood of your '76 Trans Am, and dented it just forward of the scoop.

SDGuy, thanks but I need something that goes on a table. I don't have room for anything else. Table is already bolted to the wall.

I'm sure I can find some clamps or something to bolt those things down.

Thanks guys. I'm going to check some local shops and with some peeps I know to see if anyone is getting rid of their clamps.
