HardwareHouse will have them

I have tried Hardware House, Thai Wadsadu, Baan & Beyond and HomePro. None had any for sale.

If you can't find one locally, Lazada offers a wide range. I have the one in the link below - the center block is made from steel, while the outboard clamping parts are some sort of aluminum alloy. It's self-centering (somewhat), but you need to pay attention and apply pressure from the top while tightening the clamping screw to keep it on-center, as these are known to wander off register while clamping.

Thanx for that. I looked at Lazada and Shopee as well but was trying to buy locally rather than a 2 week wait for delivery. Maybe I should have asked if the is a real DIY shop around Pattaya that stock a wide range of DIY tools rather than the big stores.

You will get it in about 2 days if you order in the morning.

After a close look at the units available with Thaicarpenter, I had another look at those available on Lazada and decided to go with the more versatile Lazada version (pic enclosed) for similar cost - but a longer wait. Just notified today it has arrived Bkk. Thanx for the suggestions.
