What are holding devices?

Tools that grip items or hold them together:• Vices • G clamps • F clamps • Sash clamps • Hold fast • Pliers • Pincers • Bench hooks



When we use clamps

Whenever we use clamps for holding timber and items together, we use scrap pieces of timber as clamps can bruise and damage timber when large amounts of pressure are applied.



G clampsG clamps are available in several sizes and depths. They can be very useful in applying enormous amounts of pressure.



F clampsThe F clamp is often referred to as the speed clamp. This clamp has an adjustable arm which can be set to accommodate any width up to the distance of the main bar.



Sash clampsSash clamps are so called because of their original use in clamping together components of windows and door frames (ie sashes) They would typically be used in pairs, as shown below.



Storing clampsHow you store clamps is personal preference, but recommendations are: • G clamps – on a timber or shelf horizontally.

• Sash clamps – on brackets vertically.
