Framing Clamps are specialised clamping tools designed to hold frame assemblies, boxes, and other rectangular or square structures firmly at precise 90° angles during assembly, gluing, or fastening. They ensure accurate alignment and maintain squareness, which is crucial for professional-quality results.
Key Characteristics:
Rigid Construction: Typically made from durable metal or high-strength composite materials to maintain alignment under pressure.
Corner Pads or Jaws: Specially shaped jaws or pads hold the workpiece at each corner without marring the surface.
Precision Alignment: Designed to keep corners perfectly square, preventing distortion or misalignment during assembly.
Adjustable Mechanism: Features screw threads, quick-release levers, or sliding arms to accommodate different frame sizes.
Workpiece Capacity: Suitable for a wide range of sizes, from small picture frames to large cabinet doors.
Common Uses:
Picture Framing: Holding frame components steady while adhesive sets or fasteners are applied.
Cabinet & Furniture Assembly: Ensuring panels, doors, and frames remain perfectly aligned during joinery work.
DIY Projects: Ideal for hobbyists building frames, boxes, or any square/rectangular structure.
