For what types of connections can the angle clamp be used?
Content
| The angle clamp can be used to assemble various connections. | |
Corner joints | |
| Also known as a 90 degree joint, a miter joint is made by beveling two pieces that are to be joined at a 45 degree angle to create a 90 degree miter joint. The two parts can be connected with an adhesive such as glue. However, they are often nailed together to provide a stronger connection. The miter clamp is the ideal tool for miter joints, as the jaws can be changed to accommodate different thicknesses of workpieces, allowing you to create flawless joints every time. |

 | A T-joint is when two parts are joined together in a "T" shape. The connection can be made with glue or with a mortise and tenon joint, in which one piece is inserted into another for added strength. Whether you're using two pieces of the same or different thicknesses, the corner clamp can be used to create the perfect T-joint. |
Butt joints | |
 | To create a butt joint, two parts are simply joined at right angles to each other by their ends. Although the butt joint is one of the simplest joints, it is also one of the weakest due to the attachment of the end grain surface to the long fiber surface. Regardless, this is very easy to do with a corner clamp, as the jaws can simply be moved to set the two pieces of wood at the right angle. |
