These clamps, which consist of a frame and movable jaw, are sturdier than other “G”-clamp designs. Made from high-tensile, heat-treated steel. They hold work securely by two jaws, not a single jaw and a screw. Spring loaded jaw stays in position when pressure is removed. Jaw tilts to securely clamp angled surfaces. Tightening screw is shielded and positioned away from the work for protection from weld spatter and debris. For added versatility, the clamps can be used for spreading or locating, as well as for squeezing.
These rugged clamps, has the same features and benefits of the rack clamps and are designed for all types of applications requiring large holding capacities and jaw width. Highly versatile - jaws can be reversed to provide spreading action, or several jaws can be used on a single bar both for fixturing and positive component location and clamping. In addition, standard and medium-duty connectors are available to couple like bars together for increased clamping reaches.
These patented clamps, designed with a single-unit clamp head and base, apply 100% of the screw force directly onto the workpiece. They also reduce setup times by up to 80%, since clamping height is adjusted simply by loosening the adjusting screw, releasing the safety catch, and lifting the clamp head. These clamps can be used at any angle. Holds work securely on many machines including planers, millers, lathes, power presses, drills etc.
The Dawn/Carver Buttress-Style clamps are ideal for holding thin or low profile workpieces up to 75mm thick. The clamps feature a self-aligning swivelling pivot which allows the tightening bolt to always remain vertical, preventing any side forces. H-shaped head’s 4 point contact resists tendency for workpiece to rotate. Ideally suited for power presses and manual die clamping. Eliminates the need for step or riser blocks.
Heavy duty vices enable the full length of machine bed to be used. Operates in two planes: horizontal-jaws tighten on work, vertical-jaw brings work firmly down onto machine table. Low-profile gives maximum cutter access. Rotatable fixing bosses allow 3600 movement for accurate alignment. Easily adjusted with two hex keys. Ideal for milling, planing and grinding operations that can’t be handled by ordinary machine vices.
