Clamping beveled joints
I have two pieces of oak - 17" x 3" that are beveled 45 degrees along their
length. I need to glue them to form a 90 degree leg. I have some corner miter clamps that I can put on the top & bottom but what do you recommend to apply pressure to the center area? Web clamps will actually pull the joint apart. Any suggestions? Thanx, Vic -- There are 10 kinds of people - those who understand binary and those who don't |

You may need to rip the corner off of the 4x4 to get the miter to sit tight. perfect reason to buy http://www.coastaltool.com/cgi-bin/S...py6181ff4f034f |

However the tape method seems like the way to go! Thanks! |

You don,t need anything too exotic for this application. Look for horses not zebras. Joe G |

Cover the angle with packing tape then use the angle as a form and clamp the parts to it until the glue dries. Lew |

By using the corner miter clamp on the top and bottom, I can keep the alignment. I mainly want to apply some clamping pressure along the length of the piece. |
