This clamp is designed for smaller items like picture frames or small boxes; it may not be suitable for large-scale heavy furniture assembly.

The slots are intended to allow you to drill or insert fasteners into your miter joints while the workpiece is held securely in the clamp.

Troubleshooting
Clamp feels stiff or difficult to turn
Clean the threaded rods of any trapped sawdust and apply a light machine oil.
Workpiece slips during tightening
Ensure the jaw faces are clean and free of resin; consider using small spacers or shims if the wood surface is irregular.
Joint is not perfectly square
Verify that your workpiece cuts are accurate; the clamp aligns pieces based on the square base, so inaccurate cuts will reflect in the final joint.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures perfectly square 90-degree corner joints
- Independent T-bar handles allow for precise adjustment
- Sturdy build quality for consistent results
- Useful integrated miter slots for drilling operations
Cons
- Limited to a 75mm jaw capacity
- Best suited for smaller projects rather than heavy furniture
- Manual screw mechanism requires manual alignment
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, place the clamp on a flat, stable workbench. Ensure your workpieces are cut to the correct dimensions before placement. When tightening, turn the T-bar handles slowly to ensure the wood does not shift under pressure; do not overtighten as this may mark softwoods. For maintenance, keep the threaded screw rods free of sawdust and debris. Applying a small amount of machine oil to the threaded rods periodically will ensure smooth operation of the clamping mechanism. Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
