pipe jaws
I need to fabricate a hydraulic clamp for a pipe, and trying to find the
best way to grip onto a 2 7/8" pipe. I was looking at pipe jaws for a vise but not sure if they would work that great. I was looking at the below link for ease of fabrication and price because they have the thru hole in them. http://www.mile-x.com/wilton-2904200-pipe-jaws.aspx Also looking at (what seems to be) bigger pipe jaws http://www.mile-x.com/wilton-pipe-jaws.aspx but they really don't give too much information on what they are or how they work. If anyone has any info or suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it. -Tom |

You might want to explain what the purpose of gripping the pipe is.
Is it to hold it horizontal so the pipe can be machined? -jim tnik wrote: I need to fabricate a hydraulic clamp for a pipe, and trying to find the best way to grip onto a 2 7/8" pipe.

Two clamps are needed, lowest clamp will hold onto a bracket to keep the drill in line, and an upper clamp will grip the pipe when they are taking it out of the ground to break the screwed joints. |

Is this 2-7/8" drill pipe? does it have tool joints or smooth? If tool joints then can't you use normal elevators? See http://www.jereh-oilfield.com/englis.../Elevator.shtm for examples. (Or am I trying to teach my grandmother to suck eggs ?-) Cheers, John B. |
