DGMF C-Clamps

What are C-Clamps?

C-clamps or G-clamps are a type of Woodworking clamp device typically used to hold a wood or metal workpiece, carpentry, and welding.

Often believed that these clamps are called “C” clamps because of their C-shaped frame, and also named C clamps or G clamps because including the screw part they are shaped like an uppercase letter G, but in fact, they were originally called carriage makers clamp, or Carriage Clamp.

 

 

DGMF Heavy-duty G-clamps

The heavy-duty G-clamps are threaded screw-in design, which allows free adjustment of the range to be clamped and high clamping force. Made of hot forged 45 high-grade carbon steel. Integral heat treatment for durability and greater strength. Ductile cast iron, wire rod galvanized or blackened.

The heavy-duty C-clamps are available at DGMF Mold Clamps Co., Ltd. Connect us for more details you need.

 

 

 

 

 

How do C-clamps work?

C-Clamps have been used in woodworking for quite a while, they help hold pieces steady. When gluing wood together, it can have a habit of warping, using a c-clamp to hold it in place while it dries can help prevent that.

When welding a c-clap can be used to hold metal pieces steady while you weld them.

Heavy-Duty Clamp Series forged C-Clamps are the strongest clamps, and are recommended particularly for metalworking and fabrication work where a very high clamping force is demanded.

The heavy-duty C clamp is used to hold various shapes of workpieces, modules, and other fixed hardware tools, also known as shrimp bow code, G-clamp, wood clamps, and so on.

It is widely used and easy to carry. Since the main body is hot forged with 45# high-speed steel, the service life is long, and the C clamp adopts a coarse-tooth threaded design, which can freely adjust the range to be clamped, and the clamping force is large. Overall heat treatment, durability, and strength.

They have a drop-forged steel frame for strength and durability with a swivel shoe that helps to clamp on uneven surfaces. The twin-start ACME cold-rolled thread for faster operation and the fused steel handle will bend before the clamp can be overstressed.

A popular general-purpose clamp for heavy-duty applications, for use in wood and metalworking, and other trades.

How to use the C-clamp correctly?

The use of C-clamps/G-clamps mainly includes the following steps:

1. Selecting the right G-clamp:

Select the right size of the G-clamp according to the size and shape of the workpiece to be secured. G-clamps are usually available in different sizes, and selecting the right size ensures the securing effect and avoids damaging the workpiece.

2. Adjusting the Clamp:

Adjust the opening of the G-clamp to fit the workpiece; G-clamps usually have a screw-in design that allows the opening to be adjusted by rotating the clamp.

3. Placement of the workpiece:

Place the workpiece in the desired position to ensure that it is stable and will not slide, G-clamps are suitable for all shapes of workpieces and can therefore be adjusted to suit the shape of the workpiece.

4. Fixing the G-clamp:

Tighten the opening of the G-clamp to ensure that the workpiece is firmly fixed. Be careful when rotating the clamp to avoid damage to the workpiece due to excessive force.

5. Checking the fixing effect:

After fixing, check whether the workpiece is firmly fixed and make sure there is no looseness or sliding. Make fine adjustments if necessary to ensure optimum fixing.

 

DGMF G-clamp care and maintenance recommendations:

Regular Inspection: Regularly inspect the threads and clamps of G-clamps for wear or damage and replace or repair them in time.

Correct use: Avoid applying excessive force on the G-clamp to avoid damage to the clamp or workpiece.

Storage environment: Store the G-clamp in a dry and ventilated place to avoid moisture and corrosion.

Through correct use and good maintenance, you can extend the service life of the G-clamp and ensure its fixing effect.

 

 

 

 

What is an AC or F clamp?

A “C-clamp” (also called a G-clamp) is shaped like the letter C and is smaller than an “F-clamp” (also known as a bar clamp), which—not surprisingly—more closely resembles the letter F. The F-clamp opens significantly wider than a C-clamp, so you can use it with larger objects.

 

 

Which is better, the C clamp or the F clamp?

The function of the F clamp is similar to the C or G clamp, and the throat depth is wider compared with the C clamp. This clamp is used in woodworking files and with screws or glue to hold tightly or in welding files to hold together.

F clamp is adjustable and it is easy to clamp large woodwork without a big screw.

C clamps can be used at every woodworking shop and metal fabrication facility. You’ll find the right clamp for your project at DGMF Mold Clamps Co., Ltd.
