Right angle clamps

admin

I'm looking for a right angle "quick setup" clamp that attaches to a welding table and holds table legs secure and perpendiculer for a tack weld.  These are not inexpensive clamps.  I did see a video and they appear to be about a foot in length, aluminum, but no infomation about them was identified and I haven't been able to ask or write because without a name I don't know where to begin.  Suggestions?
Reply:Strong hand tools sells a clamp that will hold three pieces to form two sides and one leg. I believe it is called a right angle clamp.

Reply:Like them both.  The Strong Hand is called the three axis clamp.  It is what I had in mind.  The pics of the right angle will work for a different application though.  Thanks.
Reply:becarefull what you wish for. I got some fancy clamps and my worker doesnt' like using them. He said it's just as fast to use a L shaped right triangle ruler  to square everything up on a flat welding table. I guess it depends on the percision you need. If things are off 1/16th of an inch for us it's not a big deal.

Reply:Would simple slices of angle iron and a couple of locking pliers work?  I've found angle iron provides a very good right angle and is much cheaper than those purpose-made clamps, especially when you need a lot of themXMT304 (school)SP125+ (home)HF 4x6 BandsawGood judgement comes from experience and much of that comes from bad judgement.
Reply:Northern has their right angle clamps on sale right now for $45 ea but the shipping will kill ya if you buy from Northern.  They wanted like $37 each!I ended up ordering 2 of them yesterday off of Amazon (fulfilled by Northern Tool) and the shipping was only $6.49 for both of them.   Now that is a deal.   [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Northern-Industrial-Welders-90deg-Welding/dp/B0058T96LW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1355884624&sr=8-2&keywords=welding+clamps+northern+tool"]http://www.amazon.com/Northern-Industrial-Welders-90deg-Welding/dp/B0058T96LW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1355884624&sr=8-2&keywords=welding+clamps+northern+tool[/ame]Weird, huh?Last edited by Housedad; 12-18-2012 at 09:41 PM.Victor Oxy weld/cut Setup Meco Midget Torch outfitEverlast 2016 250EX & Power Cool W300Lincoln Power mig 210MP  w/amptrol and Spool GunEverlast Powerarc 200 Hypertherm Powermax 45Bandsaw, Lathe, grinders, press, Bridgeport, etc.
