hi! i'm andrew with infinity cuttingtools and i'm randy maxey and we're here to show you some new handscrew clamps from dubuque clamp works. when you think of woodworking, the three things atleast i think of are hand saws, hand planes, and cabinet maker's hand screwstyle clamps. we like the dubuque handscrew clampsbecause of the quality machining. now
essential tools for traditional woodworking, dubuque clamp works is one of the fewremaining companies in the us that actually makes these nowadays and thequality is outstanding. they start with quality hardwood jaws, hard maple jawsthat are machined square. the swivel nuts and the threaded spindles are so smoothyou won't believe it. if you compare these
any other clamps you own you won'tbelieve how smooth they are to operate. if you've never used a handscrew clampthey're very easy to use. you basically bicycle the clamp open or closed. once you have it close to the correctsize, you can make your fine-tuning adjustments with the close screw andthen apply your pressure with the top screw. they'rereal simple to operate. youmay be asking yourself, "why would i need these special hand screw clamps?" well,there are tons of uses for them in the shop. a small handscrew makes a handy stopblock on your router table fence.
this is great for making stopped cuts likedadoes, grooves, and slots. it's also convenient to use on yourdrill press fence for positioning the workpiece for precise hole locations.handscrews, with their hardwood jaws, are ideal for holding small parts at therouter table and drill press. the handscrew provides a secure grip on the workpiece while keeping your fingers safely away from the spinning bit. when planingthe edges of long boards at the workbench, i clamp one end in the face vise and usea hand screw at the opposite end to support the board. handscrews are greatfor clamping odd-shaped parts or for applying pinpoint pressure in the middleof a wide workpiece. simply angle the
jaws to accommodate your clampingsituation. one of my favorite uses for handscrewsis aligning boards when gluing up wide panels. theparallel jaws make sure the boards are flush, resulting in a smooth panel so you can see there are a lot of usesfor these handscrew clamps in your shop. we hope that you'll go to our websiteand take a look. don't forget to subscribe to our youtubechannel and check out our blog for more great information on the tools we useand the projects we make here at infinity tools. and go to our facebookpage to keep up to date on the latest
