Bessey K-Body Parallel Clamps

In this episode of The Happy Clamper, Phoebe Everill compares the amazing Bessey K-Body parallel clamps with a less expensive clamp - the Torquata Heavy Duty Parallel clamp. Watch to see how they compare and how your choices can affect your woodworking and your budget...

Torquata's new range of parallel clamps are a step-up from what we've seen from the West Australian brand so far, taking extra-clamping pressure and a specially formulated anti-slip design to the next level.

The major problem many woodworkers face when gluing up is the lack of pressure sub-standard or cheap jaw parallel clamps offer. That's the major reason why Bessey have been so successful in this space, they're designed to prevent the moveable jaw from slipping or moving irrationally during the gluing process. But now Torquata's Heavy-Duty range exceed these standards and more, for a fraction of the price of premium European brands.
Features

Strong anti-slip handles with dynamic grip to ensure stable, reliable clamping
Pivot handle enables you to ensure maximum clamping force, without the strain or difficulty of other clamps
Huge range available to match serious' woodworkers requirements, from 600mm all the way up to 2000mm capacity
Designed with easy glue-ups in mind
Steel plated jaws go further to prevent malleability, adding an extra-level of inherent strength to the clamping mechanism
Ergonomically designed tightening knobs that minimise stress on your wrists
Easy to read measurements, in metric, right along the side of the heavy-duty bar

Two of the best featherboard brands in the business, joined forces...
So many woodworkers have fallen in love with high-density foam feathers of the Bow FeatherPRO System which mounts in a standard 3/4in mitre slot. But there is the unique ability to place Magswitch featherboards anywhere on a cast-iron surface.

What if you could take the best of both worlds and have it in one high-performance featherboard?

By popular demand, the new InstaGRIP Magnetic Featherboard from Bow Products combines their popular high-density foam feather technology with the fast setup of Magswitch MagJigs.
Benefits

All the benefits of the high-density foam feathers: Protects your wood, Protects your tools, and Protects YOU
Reversibile - simply remove the MagJigs, flip the featherboard, and replace the jigs
All the benefits of the Magswitch MagJig 150: fast setup, instant ON/OFF, and precise positioning all with 68kg of breakaway force

Two Options To Buy

If you are a fan of the Magswitch system and already own 2x MagJig 150's - just buy the InstaGRIP Featherboard Only.
If you are new to the Magswitch system, you can buy the InstaGRIP with two of the MagJig 150's included.

Snappy Tools

Plug Cutting is a highly useful technique or furniture making. In this tutorial, Phoebe Everill takes us through the process and throws in some useful personal tips...
Use Snappy tapered plug cutters to cut your own plugs to conceal screws and other fasteners. Use scraps to match wood grain, making the plug nearly invisible or, for a decorative look; use a contrasting wood.

Snappy plug cutters produce a tapered plug, so you get a tight fit with no glue needed. The chamfered nose makes it easy to get the plug started into the bore. Four precision-milled angles on each of the four flutes ensure a smooth cut and a tight-fitting, consistent taper. Heat-treated to provide excellent wear resistance and long cutting life.

The Happy Clamper is Back! In this episode, Phoebe shows us why the Bessey Band Clamp is easier to use than most..

Clamping curves, polygonal connections and closed contours are traditionally some of the most difficult clamping jobs. BESSEY has come up with a startling solution to this problem: in the form of the patented band clamp BAN 700, and the practical Vario corners. These two products are suitable for all those situations where gentle, non-warping, all-round clamping is needed. Universally applicable for wood and plastic as well as in metal construction. Secured by an automatic locking system that ensures even tractive forces on both sides, which do not slacken until the clamp is released. No warping – no stress!

Even pressure on mitre joints.
Crank handle can be relocated for right and left-handed users.
The BAN-700 kit includes 1x band clamp & 4x Vario corners.
Vario corners have infinite angle adjustment from 60-180° and sold as packs of six.

The Sherwood 6" Universal Surface Grinder can take your blades from "Manky" to "Sweet!" Just ask Phoebe Everill, who takes us from setting up right through to using the Sherwood Universal Surface Grinder...

This grinder is purpose-built to sharpen jointer and planer blades up to 24in long. It works by running the 6in aluminium oxide wheel horizontally with a 375W (1/2HP) motor running at 2800RPM, and the blade carriage passing across the face of the stone.

The carriage is adjustable to suit all bevel angles for machine blades. Remove the carriage and use the included small tool jig for grinding planer blade and cabinet chisels, or attach the drill bit sharpening attachments to touch up your twist drills.

Solid cast-iron body construction with included cast-iron base for extra stability when in use. This unique machine will quickly save time and hassle by moving your sharpening service in-house.

The Happy Clamper, Phoebe Everill, shows us the simple and practical benefits of using Panel Clamps for gluing and aligning table tops and panels...

It’s almost impossible to glue up any large panel like a table top without a clamping system of some sort. To get an even surface, your panels will require clamps and pressure on the sides to set the glue and additional pressure on the top and bottom to prevent joint buckling. It can be a real trick to get it all right, and once everything is glued and clamped down properly there are so many clamps sticking out in every direction that it looks more like an alien mother ship than a woodworking project.

Or, you can use these ingenious panel clamps. The system works by applying equal pressure from all four directions: top, bottom, and both sides all at the same time.

Setup begins by attaching the mounting brackets to the 38 x 38mm timber bottom bar and attaching the clamp ends so that the heads applying lateral clamping pressure are in place. We recommend running masking tape along the wooden clamp bars before loading in the boards so that when the glue is squeezed out the boards, they don't bond to the clamping bars.

Load all your boards into the clamp and then slide the top bar into place and wind up the clamp handle as per normal to exert clamping pressure. The rear strip is 310mm long with 12 notches in it so it is adjustable within a range to ensure that you can quickly and easily adjust the overall width of the clamping range to ensure it gets done before the glue dries.

As you wind up the clamp handle, the bars are pulled down on to the work piece being clamped and prevent buckling. The more pressure you apply horizontally also directly increases the tension being brought down on the work piece being clamped. Since all four sides are covered by one clamp you’ll save time — by using far fewer clamps — and eliminate the dreaded “buckling effect” to get a straight panel.
