A collection of Clamps. #17: GRAB O hold of your timber.

This is part 17 in a 28 part series: A collection of Clamps.


Boy and Girls,
 
The more times I use my GRABO, the more diversified uses I can find for it, consequently I migrated the review I did for it at LJ over here.
Hopefully the review should cover all bases. 
 
While in the past my emphasis was in using it as a vacuum pump, its primary use is for holding timber/glass/tiles panels and decided it will make a worthy entry into this clamp series of blogs. 
 
Although it has a large overall base profile (290mm x 175mm),

it has 4 anchor points

that can be utilised to clamp items to the centre of large flat surfaces without markings (like crews etc.).  The surface needs to be non-porous, hole-less or at least 12mm+ thick for MDF.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

Ah yes, the GRABO. That’s what started me down the road of building a set of vac clamps. Fun build. 👍🏼

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

I’ve seen these used in the glass industry, very cool 😎 

Life’s Good, Enjoy Each New Day’s Blessings

If you do a lot of work whit timber sheet goods, they are invaluable... I've found them great for not so much heavy items but awkwards to grip ones... as long as you have a non-porous flat surface.
