Vises and Clamps

A clamp is a portable tightening tool that temporarily clamps parts between a fixed jaw at the end of a steel bar and a movable jaw that slides on the bar and is tightened by a threaded spindle; it is also known as a woodworking clamp. It is used to hold wooden parts together until the glue dries and to secure the workpiece to the bench or to another part during drilling, cutting or assembly. In this category, İzeltaş plastic-jaw clamps are sold in sizes 40x12, 50x12 and 80x12, and mini clamps in sizes 20x5 and 30x5, per piece; the first value in the size shows the clamping opening and the second the jaw depth, in centimeters. Choose the clamp according to the total thickness of the parts you will clamp, how far in from the edge you will apply pressure and the clamping force needed: the opening must be greater than the total thickness, and the jaw depth must reach the pressure point. Plastic jaw pads reduce marks on wood and painted surfaces. A clamp does not replace a bench vise, which is bolted to the workbench and holds the part steady for operations such as filing or cutting.
