What F-clamp sizes are available? |
||||
|
|
||||
 |
F-clamps are available in many different sizes. Always use an F-clamp which is large enough to support the workpiece, otherwise there will be a risk of damaging the screw. | |||
 |
Similarly to the majority of clamps, an F-clamp’s size and clamping capacity is determined by its jaw opening and throat depth. | |||
Jaw opening |
||||
 |
The jaw opening of a clamp is how far the mouth of the jaws can open.
The jaw opening capacity of an F-clamp depends on the length of the bar. |
|||
 |
The smallest jaw opening available is 80mm (3″ approx.).
The largest jaw opening available is 1500mm (59″ approx.). |
|||
Throat depth |
||||
 |
The throat depth is how deep the jaws of a clamp are, and is measured from the top edge of the jaws to the bar. | |||
 |
The smallest throat depth available is 50mm (2″ approx.).
The largest throat depth available is 175mm (7″ approx.). |
