My drill press table uses T-slots, and I wanted to keep my fixture clamps handy but out of the way in my constrained space. The fixture holder was made to be mounted on a wall, but there was no wall space handy. I picked up an inexpensive flat screen TV mount and added a piece of 16-gauge steel as reinforcement to stiffen the backing plate, which I was able to mount in the same manner as a TV.
I didn’t want to make any permanent changes to my drill press, so I took some 1/8″ steel plate and formed it into two pieces with the radius of the outside of the column. On one piece, I welded a piece of steel to provide a place to bolt the “wall side” of the TV mount. These two pieces are wrapped around the column, then attached with large hose clamps.
This works great to keep the fixture clamps accessible when needed and out of the way when not.
Here’s the image from Fusion 360 without the drill press, and the drawing file itself.
