Product Information

The Handle: The handle of the face clamp is a long piece of metal that the user holds on to while clamping the workpiece in place. The handle is sometimes covered with latex to increase the grip. The handle of the face clamp is also responsible for joining all the parts of the clamp together. Face clamps are typically made from steel so they are very strong and durable, and as such can withstand high pressures during the clamping operation. The face clamp has a stationary jaw on one side and a moveable jaw on the other side that is controlled by an integrated lever.

The pressure that has been selected using the screw will be retained for some time by the clamp. The position of the screw on the clamp can vary depending on the model and make of the clamp. Most face clamps, however, have the pressure screw located at the end of the handle to provide easy rotation for the user.

The clamp also has mounting holes so you can fasten it to your workbench to serve as a vise if desired. 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.

You must first open the jaws of the clamp by pushing the lever away from the handle. This step will pull the moveable jaw away from the fixed jaw and creates the space needed for the workpiece to fit in. A face clamp is made up of several parts that enable it to secure workpieces tightly and without damage.

What to Look for in a Woodworking Clamp TypeBar Clamp: Also called an F-clamp, due to its shape, the bar clamp opens much wider than a C-clamp, allowing you to hold much larger workpieces together. There are bar clamps as small as 6 inches, but most woodworkers find that 24 to 36 inches is the most useful for large projects. 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 clamping faces are what set the face clamp apart from other forms of clamps as the clamping faces are very wide, ensuring the pressure is spread very thoroughly across the width of the workpiece. The width of the clamping faces also ensures that it can hold down large-sized workpieces relatively easy and can also be used to hold thin pieces in their grip.
