Default Questions About Back-To-Back Clamps

Any thoughts on my question about using them for glue ups or is that what
you meant by "minor clamping"? Say T&G joints on a simple Shaker style door?


Not the style clamp I would personally grab for a glue up of any type.

Could clamps be used top and bottom to keep the door flat and apply enough
pressure for gluing?


They were OK for edge guides/setup tasks back in the day, but not all
that versatile for much else, including glue-ups. IME, I think you will
find these lacking for that purpose.

Basically, I do have a few of various lengths, rarely used.I personally
wouldn't stock up on them, but it always nice to have a couple of odd
clamps in the arsenal.
