Mitre Clamp Springs

[spiritburner]

Hiya Everyone .

Does anyone here use Mitre clamp springs and if so how do you find them and have your found that the points damage the actual joint in any way please.

I already have and use 4 x 20cm 90º squares which are CNC machined and come with their own clamps and are perfectly accurate but was wondering on getting a set of the springs ( just as a quick fix and where I do not need larger options) as the 90º clamps can sometimes be cumbersome. I also have a couple of sets of the belt clamps, again which are useful.

Thanks a lot Ñeil

I use them, but they will leave indents where the points land adjacent to the joint even if your careful with applying them, but they do work well.

They work well and are quick and easy but you are left with holes in the wood. They mostly clean up with a little steaming but I have found it easier to hot melt on some 2mm hardboard strips to take the damage, especially on a quality piece of hardwood.

Thanks I wonder whether it would be worth designing some little feet forthemin 3d and 3d print them in ABS or similar and treat them as a consumable, wouldn't take much to do it assuming you have access to a 3d printer Thanks for the info to both of you
