Clamping Segmented Turning Blanks
W
ORM-SCREW HOSE CLAMPSmake good, inexpensive gluing
clamps for segmented turning blanks or other cylindrical glu-
ing jobs. The clamps are available in hardware and automotive supply
stores in sizes up to 6 in. in diameter. For larger diameters, simply
screw two clamps together head-to-tail, or cut the band and install
steel wire to extend the clamp’s circumference. Marks and dents can
be avoided by placing cardboard or wooden pads between the clamp
and the work.
