In the process of working in the workshop, you often need to pinch something, fix it. Clamps, clamps, clamps, etc., do the job best. But if the workpieces are too large, then the simple clamps will be too small. For large workpieces, clamps of the appropriate length are needed. It is possible to find them in the store, but I think the prices for them will be large. Best to do them do it yourself, because you can choose the length of the clamps for yourself, as well as save money well. In this article, we will consider clamps of this kind, or rather they are called pipe clamps. Made these homemade, author of the YouTube channel. Below I will leave a video and a source for this video, if anyone is interested you can subscribe to his channel, there you will find many more interesting homemade products.
For manufacturing, you will need:
1. A pipe with a diameter of 25 mm
2. Corner 40 * 60 mm
3. Hairpin M14
4. The extended nut M14
5. Profile pipe 30 * 30 mm
6. Square 12 * 12 mm
7. Tie rod and two pieces of thick-walled pipe
Step 1. Production
All materials are cut to the desired size. The steering link is welded to the corner, and a piece of the m14 pin is welded to the tie rod. A piece of thick-walled pipe is welded to the corner, which will serve as a guide along the pipe. Then another piece of thick-walled pipe is welded to the end of the guide pipe. Then a square is welded to the thick-walled pipe and the M14 nut is welded onto the square, a piece of the profile that will serve as a leg is welded to the bottom.
Next, a piece of a corner and a profile pipe is welded to a thick-walled pipe, two holes are drilled in a thick-walled pipe.
Step 2. Final touches and testing
All seams from welding are polished, then all parts are painted. Now it remains only to assemble this clamp. What are they at work, you can watch the video. From myself, I want to add that holes could be made on the guide pipe in order to better fix the clip. If you have any ideas for improving these homemade products, leave them in the comments. This can be done, I hope you enjoyed this article. Thanks for watching, do not forget to like.
