Bench Clamps

Bench clamps secure work to the bench top with T‑tracks or dog holes.  They are ideal for routing, sanding and planing operations where the work must remain stationary.

What are bench clamps used for?
Bench clamps are mounted directly onto a workbench to hold materials securely in place while cutting, drilling, filing, sanding, or assembling. They provide stability and free up both hands for working on the piece.

What types of bench clamps are available?
There are quick-release clamps, screw-type clamps, toggle clamps, and even vacuum bench clamps for delicate work. The choice depends on whether you need speed, heavy-duty holding power, or precision.

How do I get the best use out of a bench clamp?
Position the clamp close to where you’ll be working, apply steady but not excessive pressure, and use soft pads if working with delicate materials. Always ensure the clamp is securely mounted to the bench before applying force.
