G-CLAMP

A G-clamp, also commonly referred to as a C-clamp, is a versatile clamping tool shaped like the letter “C” . It is used to hold objects securely in place for woodworking, metalworking, gluing, welding, and various other DIY tasks.

Here are the main parts of a G-clamp:

• Frame: The frame is the C-shaped body of the clamp, typically made of cast iron for durability.
• Screw mechanism: The screw mechanism runs through the bottom of the frame and is used to tighten or loosen the jaws. It usually has a T-shaped handle for easy gripping and turning.
• Fixed jaw: The fixed jaw is a stationary jaw on one end of the frame.
• Movable jaw: The movable jaw is the other jaw of the clamp, which can be screwed closer or further away from the fixed jaw using the screw mechanism. The movable jaw applies pressure to the object being clamped.
• Swivel pad: Some G-clamps have a swivel pad on the movable jaw that helps protect the clamped surface and distribute pressure more evenly.

Here are some of the advantages of using G-clamps:

• Versatility: G-clamps can be used for a wide variety of tasks due to their simple design and strong gripping force.
• Ease of use: G-clamps are easy to use with a simple tightening mechanism.
• Affordability: G-clamps are relatively inexpensive compared to other clamping tools.
• Portability: G-clamps are available in a variety of sizes, from small, portable clamps to large, heavy-duty clamps.

When choosing a G-clamp, consider the size, jaw width, throat depth, and material. G-clamps are available in a variety of sizes, with jaw widths ranging from a few inches to over a foot. Throat depth refers to the distance between the screw and the frame, which determines the maximum thickness of the workpiece that can be clamped. G-clamps are typically made of cast iron, although some lightweight models may be made of nylon or aluminum.
