In the process of machining a large number of workpieces (especially if time is short - for example, an urgent order needs to be completed) every second counts. Therefore, in order not to bother with clamps for a long time, you can use convenient clamps for quick fixing of wooden and metal workpieces or parts.
You can make this device yourself from available materials. For work, you will need two corners from a profile pipe of rectangular cross section, two plates of the same size, a piece of a flat file, bolts with nuts, a piece of a square profile and a pair of springs.
The process of making convenient homemade clamps
First, we clean the surface of the parts from rust with a grinder. From the file we cut out two rectangular blanks. We customize metal plates to the size of corners from a profile pipe. When all the structural elements are ready, you can proceed directly to the assembly of home-made clamps.
We weld a piece of file to the corner from the profile pipe. We grab another piece by welding to the caps of bolts that are inserted into the holes of the steel plate. In the second plate we drill a “window” under a square profile and slightly bend it in a vise so that it works on a clamp. Next, we weld two plates together.
After polishing, paint the surface of the parts, and then assemble the structure. The main stages of the work on the manufacture of home-made clamps for quick fixation of blanks, see the video on our website. Do not forget to write in the comments what you think about this homemade product. Is it useful? How can I refine it?
