Peachtree Woodworking Supply 2 Pack of 4 Way Pressure Clamps for Clamping Panels From All Four Directions. For Woodworkers, Cabinet and Furniture Makers (2 four way pressure clamps)

When I opened the box, I was impressed to see how well everything was put together. Easy to install. I do recommend predrilling your before installing the screws. If you have never used this style of clamp, there is a slight learning curve. I like that the cranking portion of the clamp are metal. They are durable and a great value for the money. Easy to align and keep the boards flat with even pressure. There are reviews that this is hard to use, it is not, it is different clamp and does take a little time to set up. You have the ability to choose whatever length clamp you choose. I have a set of 24" and 36" boards that I can easily switch between. I have two sets that are great for when I am making cutting boards. Having equal pressure on all four sides is a must. Do follow the instructions and you too will enjoy these as much as I do.

Plan ahead with your settings. Superstrut 12 gauge. Use a 5/8 inch dowel to align all the slot on your super strut. Know how to clamp. Don’t overtighten. Works great when you have your panel already dominoed. If you don’t like planning and setting up this isn’t for you. But if you know what you’re doing, this will take your panels to a new level (see photos for ideas that may help). Those are 1/4-20 Allen bolts connecting to 1/4-20 superstrut cone nuts. Adjust accordingly. Rocks!

I'm waffling between 4 and 5 stars here. These clamps work as designed, are high quality and heavy cast iron and seem like they are made to last. That being said, there's a learning curve to using them effectively. I suggest practicing with them during a dry fitting of your project before adding in glue, otherwise you're likely to make a real mess. Okay let's back up a second. The first thing you need to do is mill 4 lengths of wood to use as the crossbars for these clamps. The instructions are perfectly fine (despite a reviewer here complaining about them), but you need to know how big to make them. I bought these for use making cutting boards that will be no more than 13" wide, so I made them 24". You should also own a jointer to get a good milled edge on the crossbars, so that might be a small challenge if you don't own one. Regarding the learning curve, you need to play around a bit to figure out where the clamps should be positioned on the grooved plastic thingies so that there is enough room to get your glued pieces into place and to give you the right amount of space for clamping. While I have not yet made a cutting board with these, I did use them to glue up a 13' long countertop using various lengths of board that were around 3" wide. I placed the bottom crossbar of the clamps underneath the dry piece, positioned correctly by dry fitting everything first, then glued up my 2nd piece and slid it into place under the top of the clamps. Then, I put the top cross bar into place and clamped them down. From that point on it was easy to put other clamps into place as needed. So, overall, I do think these are very helpful. You could easily get away with two lengths of board or metal to sandwich your board together with regular clamps, so consider these just another option.

Very well-built. For added straight edge, instead of wood beams suggested, I bought a metal 8' square tube 1-1/2" square for each clamp set of two, cut them in half to make two 4' beams, drilled and threaded for 1/4"-20 x 1" flat head Phillips machine screws. For gluing shorter panels, I used a 10" piece of wood (spacer) to reach the clamps bumper pad. This was more expensive than wood (cost of square tube and screws) and heavier, but gives a much straighter edge to hold the wood panels being glued together. It also doesn't stick to the glue and won't warp over time which wood beams would do. Very good product, strong, and offers unlimited options for length. Much less costly than fixed length ones.

These clamps work great. Bit of a learing curve, but once you understand how they work. Its a game changer.. Im not sure about other reviews? but the instructions were clear and very detailed. I DO recomend using a hard wood, (Oak) insted of a 2X4. The pine will "bow" slightly when the clamps are torqued down. I've seen videos where folks shave the ends to make the center a bit more concave to compensate for the bowing effect... So far I've clamped quite a few cutting boards and I have to say I've had no issues..

I have used these dozens of times and thoroughly love them.

I had an order for a maple and walnut cutting board with 3" legs at the corners to sit on top of the customer's kitchen stove. I started with 1 1/8" stock cut into 1" strips. The plan was to use a random arrangement. I got halfway into plan "A" and without thinking I shifted to Plan "B" - the result was uneven gluing. No problem - I thought. WRONG!! The maple was like sanding iron - even with a 50 grit in my belt sander. Even worse - the board was heavy. So, new option - Plan "C" - cut it in half on the table saw and run it through the planer . Yes, I lost thickness and facing a new glue up I received a flyer from a wood workers supplier and saw an add for the four way pressure clamps - WOW just what I need. I even ripped some boards that just did not look right so I was facing a challenging re-glue-up. I immediately ordered the 4 way system - delivery was fast, assembly took a little thinking, but following the diagrams it went together nicely. And most important, it did the job. I started a new line in charcuterie boards and cutting boards -- now that I have my 4 Way system I can really do some super work. The price was right - the delivery time ,very fast - performance, amazing! Super value and an excellent addition to my shop, Bill Pantle, Willie's Wood Shed - like me on Facebook.

The setup is clumsy because of the design of the jaws

Work really wellFantastic wish I got some earlier

Das Produkt wurde sehr schnell aus USA geliefert. Alle Einfuhrgebühren waren im Preis enthalten. Eine wirklich durchdachte Konstruktion. Wirkt auf mich sehr solide. Ist gut zu handhaben. Achtung, ohne Änderung der Klemmhölzer ab 15 mm Dicke aufwärts anzuwenden. Besonders für dicke Platten einzusetzen, die sonst Probleme bereiten.

Excellent produit, très robuste.

Works very well

Because the panels are kept flat they are much easier to clean up saving hours of time They are very decent quality and a good investment for any small workshop
