A cabinetry clamp holds cabinet pieces together during the assembly process. The clamp has a sliding jaw that applies a significant amount of force to the pieces being joined. Cabinetry clamps are available in various types, including bar clamps, pipe clamps, and parallel clamps, each with unique characteristics and applications. Kant-Twist clamp In woodworking, a clamp is used to hold a piece of wood to a workbench to perform various types of woodworking, such as cutting or chasing. A clamp can be a useful tool to hold the workpiece uniform while painting.

In woodworking, G or C clamps are used to hold wood pieces together while they are being glued, screwed, or clamped.

In the filing process, you apply pressure to file the metal, which will cause the workpiece to move. Therefore, clamps are used to avoid this. For gluing purposes, the clamps can be used to hold parts in position while waiting for the glue to dry. Wrapping It Up

This section explores the various types of clamps in detail, focusing on their specific applications and how they work. Clamps are available in various sizes and styles to suit a wide variety of applications, and many feature adjustable jaws and other design features to make them more versatile and user-friendly. Hand clamps We supply adjustable handles, lever handles, and cam clamps that allow for efficient tightening and loosening of screws without the need for extra tools. As these are used for manual clamping, we recognise that comfortability is a top priority. We have ergonomically-designed our handles to provide a smooth and safe experience for the user. The sturdy handle allows for an easy grip that is more reliable than traditional tightening tools that can be awkward to use. An edge clamp holds objects along their edges rather than their faces. These clamps have three separate screws that allow the user to control the position of the clamp in two axes, making it an ideal tool for tasks such as holding down parts for butt-welding or gluing together an assembly. Lifting clamps One type of a table clamp is a bench clamp, which is mounted to a workbench or table. The clamp consists of a flat base secured to the workbench and a pivoting jaw that can be adjusted to hold objects of different sizes and shapes. Because they are mounted to a bench, bench clamps are more secure than other clamps. Edge clamp A clamp is a type of workshop tool that is used to hold material in place or to hold several materials together. They help secure these materials for precise cutting or joining. These are essentially used in applications such as woodworking, metalwork, and construction.A wire rope clamp is used to secure the ends of wire rope. It consists of a U-shaped bolt, a saddle, and two nuts. It is designed to apply pressure to the wire rope and grip it securely, while also distributing the load across the clamp. Wire rope clamps are commonly used in industries such as mining, construction, and marine, where they attach and secure ropes, cables, and other components in harsh and demanding environments. Ground clamp A screw clamp (Figure 4) uses a threaded screw to apply pressure and hold objects in place. The clamp typically consists of two flat jaws joined together by a screw mechanism. To use the adjustable screw clamp, place the object between the jaws and then tighten the screw to apply pressure and hold the object in place. Clamping levers are designed for either manual tightening or to adjust and align machine parts and precision instruments. Within our extensive range, we offer adjustable, flat, heavy-duty, rigid arm and tapered levers, both male (external thread) and female (internal thread), in M4 to M16 thread sizes. RS also offers a range of different types of clamping levers, in different materials such as stainless steel, steel and thermoplastic and lengths of 40 mm to 203 mm. Types of Levers
