Hi All,
I have five handscrew clamps, and a few kits to build a few more.
How often do use handscrew clamps? Are they important to you, and what sizes are used most?
I used two of mine, 10" size, within the last week, as I was gluing up a flat plate from 4 layers, two of 1/2" plywood and the two outside layers of 1/4" masonite to use to mount a small vise on. This so I can move it around to C-clamp it on sawhorses, etc. I needed to be able to reach in to the center of the plate to put pressure on the center of the plate, so used the two handscrew clamps.
One interesting thought: was thinking about the above type of clamps, and decided to see how many of the big 16" size they had listed on the auction site. It was a total of 4, but the interesting thing was that only one set of clamps was the modern steel screw type, the other 3 were made up using threaded wooden screws.
Regards,
Stew
