According to two different AI searches the answer came back as a no.....however I guess a hobbyist somewhere may have found an alternate use.
No, Newman roller frame alignment clips do not appear to have been used (or designed) for anything else beyond their specific purpose in screen printing with Newman Roller Frames.These clips—small spring-loaded or clip-style tools sold in packs of 6—are manufactured by Stretch Devices (the company behind Newman Roller Frames, often under the Newman brand name). Their sole documented function is in the screen stretching process for textile and graphic screen printing.
All sources (product listings from Lawson Screen Printing, Performance Screen Supply, Nazdar/SourceOne, Reece Supply, Stretch Devices' own accessories page, YouTube tutorials on stretching Newman frames, and forum mentions on Reddit/T-shirtforums) describe them exclusively in this context. There are no mentions of repurposing them for other applications—like general clamping, alignment in woodworking, model building, photography, or any non-screen-printing use.
