Hi,

I use a local company called NE Plastics for my acrylic and in their showrooms they have various display examples of the products the supply including standoffs of the type you pictured.

Hi Adam,

I bought one from this guy and at the time he had two others - may be worth giving him a call

Sorry for the delayed reply Ed.

the inner part of the moulding is pinned using the Lion's presser which is quite deep and the outer using the white shallow trianglular one as you just slide out the Lions one and insert the white - saves having to adjust the height of the presser arm.

I love this one as https://www.lionpic.co.uk/p/13263/Lion-Adjustable-Magnetic-Head-For-Cassese (a) its easy to remove whilst clamping moulding to ensure perfect alignment (b) together with the white presser its ideal for tray frames without having to alter the height - Lions for the inner part and w...
