Frame corner clamps

Choose the clamp around how you assemble the frame. A corner vise brings a pair of ends together where you can inspect the joint. A band clamp draws around the perimeter, so you can dry-fit several corners in one setup.

Choosing frame corner clamps

Choose all four corners or one joint

WoodRiver’s rods hold the frame around all four corners. The Shop Fox vise holds one corner where you can reach it to fasten. Choose by the sequence you use at the bench.

Fit the clamp to the molding

Compare the points of contact on a dry fit. BESSEY’s pivoting pads serve different corner angles, while a fixed corner block suits a standard rectangle if it seats on the profile.

Department questions

Can I estimate band length from the print size?

Measure around the outer molding. The print size is inside the frame and leaves out the width of its profile.

Which type is easier to put away?

Compare a rolled band with a folding rail assembly such as the Pony 88094. Check the actual storage and working space.

Should I tighten a joint to remove every gap?

Dry-fit the corners first. If a gap remains, inspect the cuts and how the profile sits before increasing pressure.
