NOT ONLY THE VISE

Of course, treating detail at home, you can keep it and just hand, but it is better to use a vise (if they exist of course) — this will increase the usability and reduce the risk of injury. However, the vise can always help — so varied are the details with which to work. In these cases, the help of simple devices. Some of them we provided in the proposed collection.

When drilling

It’s one thing to drill a hole in the wall or any panel: here common home helper —drill — in hands to hold. And to work with small parts best drill pin to release the arm. For this is the sales occurring in the vertical bracket-stand that turns the drill in the drill press. But you need and the part under the drill pin. Then help out any clamp and two bars acting as the jaws, between them clamp securely clamped any detail (Fig.1). She will keep and flat piece during drilling (Fig.2).

Wooden block-prism figure 3, not only help to keep under the drill tubular detail, but will not allow the drill to slip off the surface, thus leading to a kind of conductor.

The contraction

When you need to pull one panel to another, two clamps and clamp between them will help to do this easily (Fig.4). The first clamp is just clamped on one panel, and the second set on the other, will be a kind of a Jack while tightening its screw.

But if you need to connect edges of the two panels or boards? Take three clamps (Fig.5): two fixed to the joined elements, and the third, resting on both clamps begin to pull them and so do the details.

When protection

Such a common and widely used material, both of wood-but particle Board (chipboard) weak point— edge: easy cleave, crumble, for example, when screwing them in the screw or hammering a thick nail.

Instead, you have to drill a hole and insert a plastic dowel or wooden spike. But they should enter densely, and this in turn can lead to the same cracking. To warn him is committed the clamp: if it is necessary to tighten (Fig.6) in the hole will spike even score, and the edge of the panel will remain intact.

When docking

If there is a frame of boards, or needed to make a picture frame from baguette — will once again come to the rescue clamp. With their help, will be securely held shipovoe connection for the period of the adhesive. The auxiliary element to them in one case need the metal square (Fig.7) in the other — resistant wooden element with holes for sponge clamps (Fig.8).

For frames instead of the clamps is convenient to use a kind of simple mitre box assembled from wooden bars (Fig.9). The device and principle of operation is clear from the picture. When screwing bolts through the ends of the strip abut to the framing rail, pressing the last to the corner bar, and a nut at the same time — in the side bars of mitre, and thereby achieving the desired thrust.
