I want to attach some ARCA clamps (NOT ARCA rails) to a tac table that has MLOK slots in it. I can easily find a bunch of MLOK ARCA rails but can't seem to find any clamps. Does such a thing exist? Any leads appreciated.

Adding a rail and using this is always an option: https://www.promediagear.com/CD60-Arca-Swiss-Compatible-Back-to-Back-QR-Clamps_p_13.html
MMW Arca M-LOK Clamp — Marginet Metalworks
New revision, a 1” slot has been added to the top of the clamp to allow webbing up to 1” wide to be draped over so a shooting bag can be attached to a rifle without additional adapters. Marginet Metalworks Arca M-LOK Clamp. This Arca-Swiss compatible clamp follows the RRS Dovetail Standard and feat

That's not it, unfortunately. That has MLOK slots on the clamp to attach things to the clamp. The clamp does not attach to something else with MLOK slots.
What I have done in the past for mlock and keymod, is drill and tap holes in the clamp. I use 1/4-20 screws for added strength. Ut the screws through the Mlock or keymod holed and tighten with blue locktite. because the screw heads can not go through the holes and the screw is stronger than mlock or keymod you have a much stronger attachment.
Why not take something like this then get the screws and t nuts to fit. ?
Maybe it won’t be straight enough to suit you without the raised nubs

Just popping in as I saw some referrals from Snipers Hide come through my site today.
Wanted to say thanks for linking my product even though they don't work for the OPs intended application.
With that in mind my tripod platform was designed with mounting my clamps directly on top utilizing M-LOK nubs.
Anyways, I'm just one guy running a small business up in Canada and wanted to say thanks for pointing some people in my direction.
Cheers,

You mean something like this?
If I make a new main body it can be adapted for alternative M-LOK interface.

@MMWGear if you make the above adapter it would also allow you to switch your tripod platform to just 8 sets of mlok slots...
This looks like it would keep the surface nice and smooth
Nice looking stuff BTW!

@PlinkIt Thanks for the feedback but this would most likely just be a custom run of the clamp.
The slots will prevail over the nubs on the clamp due to versatility, with the slots you can attach a pic rail, bipod stud, direct mount Harris adapter, use it on tripod platforms (not just mine), as well with the latest iteration the slot on top fits 1" webbing so you can throw a bag over it and move it around your Arca rail among many other use-cases. It can be taken from right off the platform and used directly on a rifle with a compatible Arca system to mount bipods and other accessories.
With the nubs on the clamp, it limits applications to primarily just mounting to a tripod platform and my goal is to make products that can be adapted to a variety of situations. Also, the nubs on the platform are unobtrusive, they stick out .06" and if you throw a bag on top as I did for the last match I was RO at you can glass, and shoot off the platform without even noticing the nubs.
Anyways, I always appreciate feedback and hope my reasoning makes sense.

Yes exactly! If you make a run of them I'd probably buy 2-3. This would also allow people to easily mount ARCA-railed accessories onto a rifle with MLOK forend or similar. I understand these are a limited-demand item but I'm surprised someone isn't making these with the growing popularity of MLOK-slotted tripod platforms.
I'll make 10 with my next production run, will probably be a couple of months as I'm a small outfit but I see the merit in making these and would be interested in feedback in regards to functionality.
This is why this forum is awesome. People helping others out, and people not demanding anything but rather thankful for help.
You are all good people, and I appreciate all of you.

@Conqueror as requested I have manufactured the clamps and they are now back with Type III Class 2 anodizing.

Let’s see if @MMWGear responds? I don’t see their website any more. Shame if they went under, the three clamps I got from them are very well made.
