Wood Clamp Hardware Kit
Instruction Sheet
Introduction
The Shop Fox Wood Clamp Hardware Kit provides
all the necessary hardware to make your own
wood clamp. Wood clamps are very handy during
many woodworking applications. Wood jaws are
non-marring and eliminate the need for pads, and
two wood clamps can work together for a quick
and easy bench vise. The jaws of the clamp should
be made from a hardwood such as maple.

Construction and Assembly
Once you have determined the material you will
use and the size and shape of your clamp jaws,
you are ready to begin construction and assembly.
Drill Holes for
Threaded Rods
(Aligned with
To construct and assemble the clamps, do these
steps:
Dowel Nut Holes)
1. Use the drawing and dimensions from Figure
2 or your own design to cut out the shape
of the clamp jaws. Sand all edges to reduce
splinters and workpiece marring.

Figure 4. Drilling threaded rod holes.
Note: The following illustrations show a
standard jaw shape. The jaws you create for
your clamp can be customized as desired.
4. If greater clamping flexibility is desired,
drill additional holes at 18° & -18° in the
positions shown in Figure 5. Make additional
passes with the drill bit as needed to clear all
remaining material from the elongated holes
to prevent binding during use.
2. Drill four holes for the dowel pins in
the locations shown in Figure 2 or the
approximate locations shown in Figure 3.
Refer to Sizing Information on the Page 2 for
the proper hole size.

mushroom the exposed end of the handle
pin, as shown in Figure 9, to prevent it from
falling out.
