Up Topic Welding Industry / Welding Fundamentals / Need to clamp it down in the middle of a layout table?
- - By aevald (*****) Date 05-07-2010 00:47
Hello everyone, haven't added anything to this portion of the forum for a while. Occured to me the other day to include this little tid bit for those who haven't already done something of this sort. I sometimes find that I just can't quite reach an item to clamp it down due to various obstructions and maybe a half-clamp or a wedge and dog just doesn't quite fit the bill. So, by using a block/blocks, C-clamp, and a piece of tube, angle, channel, or some other sort of structural shape you might just be able to get enough pressure on that part to serve your purpose. Best regards, Allan

Hey Allan,
Good tip. I've been doing it that way for 20 yrs. Nothing beats "simple".

Another good method is to have strategically placed tapped holes in a table.  Between that and a few step blocks and slotted bars (think machinist clamps) you can fixture up virtually anything.
