Hi all
A frustrated would be oak strip laminator with steam coming out of his ears is posting this message
I recently bought a set of pipe clamps from axminster, http://www.axminster.co.uk/product.asp?sessionID=SJD&pf_id=32094 but have had a problem with the tail pieces - the metal clutch plates broke on one of them when I tightened the clamp. As they are advertised as heavy duty naturally I was a bit annoyed. Axminster replaced the clutch plates foc but tonight, laminating the next shelf in a painfully slow preparation for a bookcase the clutch plates on the other four of my five clamp sets broke!
I am emailing axminster as you read this to express my annoyance. My question to you is am I doing something wrong like doing them up too much, though I've only used hand pressure, or have I got a really duff set of clamps?? Help!
Thanks for your time, breathing pattern returning to normal...
