Review on 🔧 Maximize Precision with Bessey VAC 6 Angle Plates 6 Pack by Brandon Hilton

These plates work great with the Bessey VAS23 Variable Angle Belt Clip which I bought them for. The "legs" or panels move smoothly to conform to the corners you are connecting. This is particularly pleasant for me. I teach practical math to students with learning disabilities and at the moment we are learning about angles, triangles, rectangles and squares. To bring the lesson to life, we'll cut the sides of the shape and square off the ends with a miter saw. We then sand the corner pieces until smooth so they can absorb the glue without allowing the glue to soak into the porous wood that isn't sanded smooth. Since we're studying obtuse, right, and sharp angles, we need an angled belt clip to accommodate these different angles, and we need them! We apply glue, then clamp the shape with an Angle belt clip and wait for it to dry. As an extra measure of holding the shapes together, a skill my students learned, when the shape is dry and removed from the clamp, we poke it through with a 1/4 inch blade and then put a dowel in that Hole. Cut off at tree level. Then it is sanded, if necessary a wooden spatula is applied, sanded again and then at least two coats of clear lacquer are applied. So now we have a collection of many different triangle shapes that are precisely finished and beautifully connected thanks to these plates and the Bessey clamping band. The idea behind this course is to bring math to life and learn carpentry skills and without these clamps none of this would be possible. I highly recommend them.
