Cheeseboroughs

[LD/SDintraining]

Does anyone know anywhere I can get cheeseboroughs in Portland, Oregon?

Theatrical supply house. Look in the phone book yellow pages (is that still a thing?) under stage lighting.
Any scaffold company. But they probably won't know what a cheeseborough is. Say "ninety degree (or swivel) scaff clamp for 1.5" ID (1.9" OD) pipe."

Thank you so much! I googled ninety degree scaff clamp for 1.5 and a lot more places poped up.

OT but I wonder if Jimmy Buffett's lighting crew sings Cheeseboroughs in Paridise

Safway Scaffolding is the first place that comes to mind.
Or talk to Z-Bob at Stages Northwest

Do ya'll use scaffolding cheeseboroughs in rigging applications? I 86'ed them in my shop, due to no rating or manufacturer stamp.

I've experienced these slipping much easier than cheeseboroughs on steel->steel connections. They are definitely the go-to when working with aluminium truss, however.

I still have an old bin of scaffold clamps for the odd occasion when we are doing scaffolding work. For pipe or truss, it is *always* cheeseboroughs. The scaffold clamps are too easy to not get tight enough, and can do some pretty nasty damage to aluminum truss.
