Clamping tools can come in different shapes and sizes, depending on the specific requirements of the application. Common types of clamping tools include vises, vices, collets, clamps and jaws.
Vices are often made of metal and have a pivoting jaw that can be tightened with a crank or handle. They are often used in metalworking and welding.
Vices are similar to vises, but they usually have longer jaws and are often made of wood or plastic. They are often used in woodworking to hold workpieces in place while cutting, sanding or gluing.
Collets are flexible clamping tools that can accommodate a variety of workpiece sizes. They consist of two handle elements connected by a threaded spindle. By turning the spindle, the distance between the grip elements can be adjusted to hold the workpiece in place.
Clamps are usually made of metal and have a spring mechanism to hold the workpiece in place. They are used to temporarily hold workpieces in place while other work is performed.
Clamps are special tools that are attached to machines such as milling machines or lathes. They often have a movable jaw that holds the workpiece in place while it is being machined.
Clamping tools are widely used in many industries, including engineering, metalworking, crafts and woodworking.
