Screw Clamps Woodworking
Top Woodworking Clamps Tips That Every Woodworker Should Always Follow
- Be careful to choose the right sized clamp for the job. Don’t try to apply excessive amounts of pressure with a small C-Clamp…or grip a miniature project with a 12″ Hand Screw.
- Lightly lubricate the screws on your clamps occasionally to prevent rust.
- Always maintain a liberal coat of linseed oil or furniture paste wax on hand screws to prevent glue build-up on the jaws.
- The discarded jaws from auto jumper cables make great spring clamps.
- When you have to apply clamping pressure directly over a glue joint, cover the joint with waxed paper or kitchen plastic wrap first to keep the jaws of your clamp from being permanently glued to your project.
- Small “doughnuts” of foam pipe insulation slipped over the galvanized or steel pipe of your pipe clamps will keep them from touching (and staining) the surfaces of your projects.
- If you find that your workpieces want to “slip & slide” during glue-up, first, apply the glue, then rub two pieces of coarse grit sandpaper together lightly above the glue. The grit that comes off the sandpaper will prevent the slippage problem.
- Use small pieces of scrapwood as protectors to keep the jaws of your metal clamps from marring workpiece surfaces.
- Use a Double Bar Clamp or alternate Aluminum Bar Clamps (one above and one below) when gluing edge-to-edge to prevent buckling.
- Mark all workpieces carefully before clamping and gluing to ensure accurate assembly.
- To make sure all joints fit properly, dry-clamp all components before gluing them together.
