These can be used in creative configurations to secure your stock.

*Up to ~1.4" stock can be secured.
*Use whatever bolts listed next that work with your configuration.
*Whenever possible, position bolts as close to the clamping area as possible, so clamping force is maximized. Ideally, position the clamp with a downward slope towards the piece being clamped.
*Clamps can be stacked--see photo for ideas.
*Clamps can also be used to butt stock to prevent translation. In this configuration, other clamps need to be used to apply downward force.
*See Replacing 3D Printed Clamps for the files and print instructions.
