Product Information

Full details

The Loops 2100mm Smooth Action Sash Clamp is designed for carpenters and cabinet-makers needing to securely hold large woodworking pieces. Its primary benefit is the extended 1980mm clamping capacity and smooth, precise adjustment mechanism. A potential consideration is its substantial weight (6.43kg), which may require additional support for very long projects. This clamp features high-quality forged jaws for durability and a smooth action threaded mechanism for effortless operation, making it suitable for both professional workshops and serious DIY projects.

What material are the clamp jaws made of?

Can this clamp be used for metalworking?

Troubleshooting

Clamp jaws do not grip securely.

Ensure the workpiece is clean and free of debris. Check that the threaded mechanism is free of obstructions and lubricated. Verify that the jaws are properly aligned with the workpiece surface.

Adjustment mechanism feels stiff or difficult to turn.

Clean any accumulated sawdust or debris from the threads. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the lead screw and turn the handle back and forth several times to distribute it.

Clamp slips after tightening.

Ensure the clamp is tightened evenly across the workpiece. Check for any slick surfaces on the clamp jaws or workpiece that might be hindering grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional clamping capacity for large projects.
  • Durable forged jaws provide a strong and reliable hold.
  • Smooth and precise adjustment mechanism enhances workflow.
  • Components are secured with chains to prevent loss.

Cons

  • Significant weight (6.43kg) may require handling assistance or stable work surfaces.
  • May be oversized for smaller, more intricate woodworking tasks.
  • Requires sufficient space to operate effectively on very large pieces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No complex setup is required. Simply position the clamp across the workpiece and turn the handle to engage the smooth action threaded mechanism. Ensure the jaws are making even contact with the material before applying full pressure.

Compatibility: This clamp is designed for general woodworking applications, compatible with solid wood, plywood, MDF, and other common sheet goods used in furniture making and construction. It is suitable for use with most wood glues.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, regularly clean the threaded mechanism and jaws of any wood dust or glue residue. A light application of lubricant (e.g., paraffin oil or silicone spray) on the threads can ensure continued smooth operation. Store the clamp in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
