To make wood pieces, drill a series of 5/8'' holes spaced 2'' apart down the center line of the board face of a 2x4 piece of lumber. Then rip the board lengthwise through the centers of the holes, creating two pieces approx. 1-1/2'' x 1-11/16''. Rotate the notched boards so that notches are away from each other.

I bought three sets years ago and have used them a lot. I have found that if the frame you mount these to warps or bows, so will the wood your are gluing will also. I decided on mounting the pieces to 1-1/2" square tubing using taping screws. Works great!

I use 3 sets to make panels and they work well. I had to buy 3 more because the handles break loose from the screws! A  stronger connection would greatly improve the product. 2 things I added: tape the 2 bys so the glue won't stick and add a small 1/8" thick piece next to the semi circle by the clamp to keep them from jumping out of the slot.

I got another set after my loss to Katrina. Work out a system and the glue up procedure will go smooth. Use wax paper to protect the bars from glue. You don't need a gorilla to tighten the clamps. Shouldn't have tightened so much to break the clamp.

Did the table top job ok. Used other clamps also to make the job easier. The top was great with all joints tight and straight.

Bought the clamps to make an end grain patterned cutting that I saw in a back issue of Wood Magazine. It did an excellent job of not only the end to end pressure but keeping the board flat! I did make the holes larger in the 2X4 as one review suggested! It was a good idea!

I got a couple of pairs of these for gluing up panels for raised panel kitchen cabinet doors. As other reviews stated, they were a little awkward to set up, but once youfigure out a system they are not too bad. I made a couple of small blocks slightly thicker than the material I was clamping and inserted them in front of the clamp pads. After applying glue, I simply slid the assembled panel into the clamp and removed the blocks and I was good to go! I do augment the clamping strength with a pipe clamp when needed. I will try slightly larger holes in my 2X4 next time I make the rails as I agree the 5/8ths hole may be a little small for maximum clamping power. Overall, a usefull tool and good product!
