Product Information

Pinch Clamp: Also called a hand or spring clamp, these simple clamps are useful for holding delicate materials together. Clamps come in a wide range of sizes, allowing you to choose which best suits the size of the material you are clamping. There are a few numbers to consider when it comes to size: The jaw opening size, which is the maximum distance the jaws can separate. This determines how wide of an object the clamp can hold. Often, it's the same as the overall length, but not always. The clamps all provide up to 150 pounds of holding pressure. When used as spreaders, the 6-inch clamps extend up to 11-9/64 inches and the 12-inch clamps extend up to 17-21/64 inches. All of the clamps have a large, anti-skid gripping pad that won't mar the surface of the material being gripped.

But the length is measured as the distance from the edge of the jaw to the end of the handle. How To Use A Face Clamp.

The Pressure Screw: When the jaws of the face clamp are closed, the screw can then be used to adjust the amount of pressure that is released by the jaws and onto the workpiece.The Throat Depth: The throat depth of the face clamp is referred to as the distance from the ends of the jaws to the edge of the handle. The throat depth determines how large a workpiece can be clamped by that specific clamp. Some face clamps are designed with longer throats so they can accommodate larger workpieces. The Jaws: The jaws of the face clamp are long and curved pieces of metal that when brought together, form a C-shape. They have a stationary jaw, which remains fixed throughout the operation, and a moveable jaw, whose position can be adjusted.
