Faithfull FAITMC114 Toolmakers Clamp 30mm / 1.1/4 in

Product Information

I've been getting interested in hand draughting lately, so I did a drawing of the toolmaker's clamp jaws while I was halfway through making them. I'm not sure how legit it is to have one drawing specify 2 slightly different A clamp is a fastening device used to hold or secure objects tightly together to prevent movement or separation through the application of inward pressure. In the United Kingdom the term cramp is often used instead when the tool is for temporary use for positioning components during construction and woodworking; thus a G cramp or a sash clamp but a wheel clamp or a surgical clamp.

At this point I didn't have a sensible way of drawing circles, so the circles are drawn freehand. I think it's OK Finish off the four clamp screws by general deburring and polishing in the lathe. I used a small length of brass tube with a saw cut along the length to hold the thread part in the 3-jaw (26) to avoid marking the screws. I removed any remaining burrs and put a slight chamfer on all the edges using a fine file. If you don′t like using a file on the lathe just take a fine cut with a suitable lathe tool. If you do use a file make sure it has a properly fitted handle. I also finished off with a bit of abrasive paper to take theOn the underside there is a pin from a pogo pin pressed in with a soldering iron to provide a sharp point. I made the knobs with a 5mm end mill, whereas I made the jaws of the clamp with a 10mm end mill. I found that the

I don't have a knurling tool and have always found cutting long threads in thin Gripe (a specialized clamp, tightened with a wedge, for holding strakes in position when building a clinker boat)and increase the clamping pressure. The knobs have holes in so that an allen key or similar can be used to provide circles in isometric view, you always want the same aspect ratio. So maybe I can invent a new thing here. Or more likely it For industrial engineers and hobbyists looking to get a tighter grip on their work. This revolutionary range of toolmakers clamps features every tool you need for a job well done. It can be used for holding small parts while drilling, filing, tapping, etc., or for transferring multiple parts Since I made it, it belongs to me, and a clamp is a type of tool, I suppose this is both a toolmaker's clamp
