Mik Kyklo Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 Hello! I would like to make something (DIY - simple as it can be) that will serves me as cross clamp and as edge clamp. I have made, years ago, some simple crack clamps and work fine. I was wondering if I could do the same for the cross and edge. Thanks!

FiddleDoug Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 The cross clamps are easy. I've made some with threaded brass rod, Delrin blocks, and wing nuts. I made up one double rod clamp like the ones you pictured, and four other single rod clamps of various configurations to cross clamp from both the front and back. Other than a saw and files, the only other tool needed is a tap to fit the bolts on the block in the center. The edge/crack closing clamp is a bit harder. With good metal machining skills, and a milling machine, you could do it, but probably a tough go with hand tools, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
