Mitre Clamps are specialised clamping tools designed to hold two workpieces together at a precise angle—most commonly 45°—to form an accurate 90° corner. They are widely used in picture framing, moulding, trim work, and joinery where angled joints require perfect alignment during gluing or fastening.
Key Characteristics:
Angled Jaw Design: Specially shaped jaws apply even pressure along the mitred edges, ensuring tight, gap-free joints.
Precision Alignment: Keeps both faces and edges flush, reducing the need for sanding or rework after assembly.
Quick Adjustment: Screw-driven or cam-lock mechanisms allow fast set-up and easy release for repetitive work.
Durable Construction: Made from steel, cast aluminium, or reinforced composite for long service life and consistent clamping force.
Capacity Options: Available in various jaw openings to suit small picture frames through to large cabinet components.
Common Uses:
Picture Framing: Holding moulding strips at perfect 45° angles during glue-up or nailing.
Furniture Assembly: Creating square corners in table aprons, chair frames, and carcasses.
Trim & Moulding Work: Aligning decorative profiles for clean, seamless joints.
Box & Drawer Construction: Ensuring square, strong joints in cabinetry projects.
