Review on πŸ†™ Improved Vertical Pressure Release by POWERTEC 20335 by Johnny Snyder

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worth the extra cost compared to cheaper but similar Revain items

Torn between buying this clamp and another clamp here on Amazon which appears to be very small but much cheaper. I needed something that would hold the wood securely as I was creating a tapered clip for the back of an Adirondack chair that has the slats wider at the top than at the bottom to give it a fan shape. These clamps worked perfectly for holding the wood securely on a cone jig, which I made by running a cedar board through a table saw. The results were excellent and I think the slightly higher price tag for these heavy duty clamps was justified. Also when using clamp clamps in a table saw mount I strongly recommend vertical clamps instead of horizontal clamps to avoid hitting the saw guide or whatever. The following images show an example of how these clamps can be used. I made a tapered cutter out of cedar to create the fan shape you see on the back of a typical Adirondack chair. The already cut board is shown clamped. The clamps held the board securely as it was fed through the table saw and delivered great results in a safe manner.

Pros
  • Power and hand tools
Cons
  • Something else
