But they mar the wood? Do you mean that you see a rectangle on the wood afterward, corresponding with the edges of the clamp face?

What sort of pads do you intend to put on them Yes my Jets, which I have had for several years, will leave an imprint/impression on the work If I don't use a scrap piece of wood between the clamp and the work. None the less I ordered 2-24" and 2-31" for less than $100 shipped. The Jets tend to have all of the best features in one clamp aside from the above stated fact. For 50% off I can figure out a way to attach a buffer to the clamp faces. I will probably attach some scrap mahogany, walnut, or poplar pads, something as soft or softer than the wood I am clamping. And I'll use rare earth magnets to attach them with. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

I wonder if simply easing the edges of the clamp faces with sandpaper would fix it. Possibly, but I'm thinking that the damage to the workpiece he's trying to prevent is more a function of the relatively small footprint of the clamp faces and the claim that they will exert up to 1,000 lbs clamping pressure. Think along the lines of a woman's high heel on a wood floor or vinyl tile. Something will give with that pressure and it won't be the heel. Maybe he just needs a caul... ah, but what type?g |

Anyway here is one of three doors I glued up yesterday. I used Cabinet Master, Bessey, and the Jet clamps. All looked fine after removing the clamps except this door clamped with the Jet. Oddly the fixed end of the clamp did not leave marks. Look closely and you will see two vertical lines about 2" apart. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb112...posted-public/ |

The junior are lighter duty. No that is still a great deal especially if you need a new stool in the shop. ;~) I almost bit, I only wanted to add some shorter clamps to my collection. I did not need an extra stool. And I like the bigger clamping faces on the regular sized clamps. I will say that the reversed color caught my eye as something different and when I read the details I realized that they were the Juniors. I have "1" Junior clamp and seldom use it. |
