"There is a black "BB" in the clamp that provides the pressure for the clamp and fails by coming apart. Major flaw in my opinion. Probably some cheap synthetic out of China. I'm assuming that the petroleum based lubricant that I used…"

Kreg Jig Dust Collection Attachment
1st impression when you hold this attachment in your hand: "not much to it", Kreg sure is makin' $$ here.
