Toggle Clamp Upgrade (ep66)
Toggle clamps are essential for woodworking jigs and fixtures. A lot of times they come with a rather small clamping foot. If you are using multiple clamps and/or securing the workpiece against a fixed fence, you may have no problem. It still bugged me that they seemed to let the wood move unless you had […]
