Probably, each of us had to assemble furniture in our lives, and therefore many people know that when drilling several boards, the slightest shift in parts can lead to a mismatch between both devices. As a result, the furniture becomes crooked and ugly. Therefore, experienced assemblers use special corner clamps in their work. We will talk about them today.
Characteristic
This tool is a set of parts in which both boards are joined at a right angle and fixed in place with special clamps. And no matter what vibration from drilling holes occurs, the material being processed will firmly stay in place.
Benefits
According to its properties, the carpentry angle clamp has a number of advantages:
- The connection of two boards is carried out at a certain angle, which guarantees perfectly accurate carpentry work.
- With clipsyou can fully control the condition of the workpieces and not allow them to change their position when gluing, connecting with screws or special fasteners.
- The angle clamp can hold the boards in position for exactly as long as necessary.
- Thanks to the presence of this tool, even products of different thicknesses can be joined. In this case, their angle of inclination will be the same.
- The use of this element does not involve the use of any other technical tools.
Mechanism device
According to its design, the angle clamp is a fixed metal frame with grooves located perpendicular to each other. At the same time, an additional movable part is attached to the grooves, which is a clamping bar that fixes a chipboard sheet or wooden boards inserted into the mechanism. This part is connected with screws. Also, the angular clamp has a fixed element in its design. By the way, a locksmith clamp also has a similar design, consisting of a movable and a fixed part.
Continuing on the design… The fixed part usually has several holes or clips for mounting in a vise or workbench. The moving jaws of this part on the surface most often have rubber or plastic pads that serve to prevent scratches on one or another fixed material. Often such mechanisms have 1 clamp,consisting of a single bolt, which ensures symmetrical pressing of the material against the fixed stops of the device. There are also devices with two clamps, but they are less popular than the first.
Application
Angular clamp is most often used to assemble facade frames, since the design of the clamp requires the presence of special adjustable jaws that fix devices at a right angle. Mostly wooden materials are processed, most often when assembling and repairing cabinet furniture or door frames.
