Many straight edge clamps feature a swivel head which allows the clamps to grab the material at an angle to either create a straight fence for miter circular saw cuts or to allow the fence to attach to pieces of wood that don’t have parallel edges. Most swivel heads operate at a range of 0 to 22.5 degrees. It’s crucial for a straight edge clamp to have a strong clamping mechanism with a rubberized clamping head that creates a firm grip on the material for a swivel head to work properly. Functionality
