Manufacturing process.
First of all, the author makes a pair of blanks for sponges. To do this, he uses a profile pipe 20X40 mm. Marks and cuts them off with a grinder.
Marks and drills a pair of mounting holes.
Then it cuts off the side closest to the holes and slightly bends the edges.
Now marks the middle of a long profile pipe 20X20 and cuts it.
Marks and drills the remaining necessary holes.
The M10 hairpin also cuts in half.
Here are all the details and are selected.
Establishes sponges, inserts a bolt, and fixes with a wing nut.
Then collects the clamp itself. Here, of course, a revision is needed - to make handles on the long nuts.
Now you can press such a blank.
Even if you put the workpiece on its side - such a clamp calmly captures it at a great distance from the edge of the table. It is possible to clamp both distant and proximal nuts.
Here is such a version of a large clamp turned out by the author in just a few minutes!
It remains to clean and paint it, as well as modify the handles on the clamping nuts.
All a good mood and interesting ideas!
