Bolt the two clamp sections to a lathe faceplate and bore them to the
mast diameter. Remove enough material to enlarge the contact area and
insure the bore is true to the bases. Use grade 8 bolts and use a
torque wrench to max spec torque for the size bolt. Repeat this
tightening 3 times.
The clamp bore as cast wasn't straight to the machined base and only a
few "points" would have made contact in the 2800 I have turning a 375#
100ft tip to tip 2L 80m beam. Now it doesn't slip.

Howdy, TowerTalkians -
I need more friction between an M2 mast clamp and the mast. How could I do that? What
materials would work? Tnx. Cheers,Steve K7LXCCell: 206-890-4188
