What this tool is for

The WoodRiver 07S51 uses threaded rods to bring four corners together during a glue-up. Choose it when you want access to individual thumb nuts while the whole frame is held on the bench.

The 48 × 48-inch figure describes the maximum frame size Woodcraft lists. Start with the size of the assembled frame, then dry-fit the corner blocks to see how they contact the molding.

Questions about this tool

How do I check the frame before tightening?

Dry-fit the pieces and compare both diagonals. Adjust the joints while they can still move.

Can this hold one corner while I fasten it?

A vise such as the Shop Fox D3227 can be easier to position for a single joint. The WoodRiver clamp surrounds the full assembly.

When would a strap be easier to store?

A roll-up band clamp can fit in a drawer without leaving long rods to store. Compare how each type contacts the molding.
