How do toolmaker clamps work?
Tool master clamps are quite easy to operate and operate. | ||
The center screw and outer screw must be turned counterclockwise to open the jaws. | ||
When the jaws are open wide enough, you can insert the workpiece. | ||
The jaws of the clamp are parallel, so if the opposite surfaces of your workpiece are flat, they should hold it securely in place. | ||
Once the workpiece is in place, the screws must be turned clockwise until they are hand-tight. | ||
A crowbar can then be inserted into the screw head hole and used to provide additional leverage when tightening. |
