Joseph, at this time we have no official plans to produce this product. We have had this request from several customers though so it is on the radar of our product development team. If this product is released in the future, community members here will be the first to hear about it!
Thank you for your prompt reply. In the meantime, any suggestions on how I might UNIFORMLY shape a 3/8" Right Angle Clamp to fit?

The right angle clamp, pointed/necked down end is 0.350" dia, for the standard 3/8" size clamp.
The micro drill jig drill bit is 0.281" dia---(75% of the standard 3/8" size).
A right angle clamp, for the micro jig clamping, can be made from the standard right angle clamp.
Machine the pointed/necked down end, from 0.350" dia to 0.265/0.250" dia.
Machining can be accomplished by a filing or grinding method.
Carefully remove the metal, evenly around the perimeter.
When grinding, work slowly, and in light even passes around the perimeter, so as not to overheat the metal.
Final passes can be accomplished by filing, so as to make the finish ''smooth''.
Use a round gage, with a 0.250/0.265" ID, (tubing or the like, will suffice), and frequently check the OD of the pin, as you're grinding/filing. Make the final finish smooth, with a fine cut finishing file.
A final polishing operation, may be performed, if desired.
Chamfer the newly ground pin with a 1/32" radius, so as to facilitate insertion of the clamp, into the drilled holes in the wood.
NOTE: The clamps are finished with a zinc coating, to prevent rusting---grinding/filing will remove the protective finish;
therefore, a suitable protective coating needs to be applied, so as to prevent rusting.
(Auto body metal primer paint, or the like, will suffice. Re-coating the finish can be re-applied, as needed).
OR---
obtain or make an adapter that will fit over the standard clamp pin (0.350" dia)---swaged or necked-down for the smaller dia pin (0.265/0.250").
NOTE: the new clamp pin will have to be shortened accordingly. Affix the adapter to the clamp pin, by drilling a hole thru the side and inserting a pin---(1/16" dia metal dowel, or common equiv dia finishing nail, will suffice).

I've been using my Adaptive Cutting System table for a few years now, and it's been really solid. This past week was the first time I ever needed to use the miter guide though.I was rebuilding some shelving in a tiny closet and I discovered the…Continue

I am building a small trunk for a military friend to put some belongings in. I have made legs out of ash hardwood and will make the sides out of 1/2” or 3/4” Baltic birch plywood. The legs are 1.5” thick by 2” wide. So since I’m drilling pockets in…Continue

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
