2 Pack of 4 Way Pressure Clamps For Clamping Panels Ideal For Woodworkers
Clamping panels doesn't have to be difficult. This clamp system is designed for the sole purpose of clamping panels using pressure from the top, bottom and sides all at the same time!
Clamping panels can certainly be a challenge. Especially when we try to use everyday pipe clamps or bar clamps. While these types of clamps work fairly well on certain glue up projects, the one thing they don’t do at all is apply pressure from the top and bottom of the panels during glue up. In fact, with all the pressure being applied on both sides, bar and pipe clamps will almost certainly bow, buckle or rack your panel glue up project.
Let’s make racked panel glue ups a thing of the past! The uniquely designed 4 way pressure solves this age old issue by applying pressure to all four sides of your panel glue up. With a simple turn of the rotating clamp handle, all four sides of the clamp will draw inward at the same time. This provides equal pressure on to your panel and prevents bowing, buckling, or racked panels.
Build any length clamp with the durable plastic bars with 4 notches for maximum adjustability to handle a variety of stock widths. Clamp can be used for boards up to 6 inches in thickness by simply adjusting the clamp width capacity with the appropriate number of notches. Turn the handle clockwise to tighten the clamp and turn the handle counter clockwise to release pressure. The 4 way pressure clamp is equipped with side pressure pads to prevent damaging your stock.
Now you can confidently glue up wide boards, shelving, table tops, and more up to 6” thick. To setup the clamps simply attach the clamp to any length 2 x 2’s (2” x 4” ripped in half) with the the wood screws that are provided, apply wood glue to your project, set the clamps on to your panel boards and turn handle to tighten the clamp on all four sides. We recommend that you place a 4 way pressure clamp every 12” to 18” for best results.
This clamp package comes with two full 4 way pressure clamp assemblies. Includes: 2 each rotating handle assemblies, 2 each tailstock assemblies, 4 each side pressure pads and 12 each 4 notch bars. Together, this setup will allow you to create two 4 way pressure clamps. More than one clamp is generally recommended for any project over 12” in length. Wood is required for setting up the clamp. Wood is NOT included.

4 Way Pressure Clamp

Clamping panels can certainly be a challenge. Especially when we try to use everyday pipe clamps or bar clamps. While these types of clamps work fairly well on certain glue up projects, the one thing they don’t do at all is apply pressure from the top and bottom of the panels during glue up. In fact, with all the pressure being applied on both sides, bar and pipe clamps will almost certainly bow, buckle or rack your panel glue up project.

Clamping Pressure on ALL 4 SIDES

When clamping panels, the challenge is preventing the middle boards from bowing or popping out of place. There are many clamps and clamping systems that can help reduce this problem or get close to applying pressure where needed. Some of those systems cost a lot of money as well. Our simple, easy to use 4 way pressure clamp system will apply pressure where its needed and it will do it for a fraction of the cost.

Clamp Various Size Panels

From small to larger panel glue ups, the 4 Way Pressure Clamp has got you covered.

Build it to Your Specs

You can build the 4 Way Pressure Clamp to your specs. Typically the most common lengths are 24", 36" or 48" depending on what style of projects you do most often.

Solid Steel

From the steel rotating clamp handle to the steel clamp assemblies, you'll get a ton of mileage out of these durable clamps.

Heavy Duty Notched Bars

Made from a durable composite resin material, the notched bars are perfect for holding the steel clamping assemblies in place for optimal clamping pressure from all 4 sides.

Always Plan Ahead...

Before deciding how many clamps you need, use the general rule of thumb and plan for using a clamp at 12" intervals. This helps provide enough clamping pressure throughout your workpiece to prevent bowing of your panels. When deciding what size panel you want to glue up, make sure you have enough 4 way pressure clamps to do the job. We recommend that you set your 4 way pressure clamps at 12” intervals. This helps keep even pressure throughout the panel. The 4 way pressure clamp can also be used in conjunction with pipe or bar clamps to help provide even clamping pressure that pipe or bar clamps typically can not on there own.
