Tools and Hardware Reviews of Grizzly G3047 Adjustable Frame Clamp
Customer Review: Works great for big and small frames!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought Rockler's version of this clamp (it's the same one, just labeled differently) and I am very pleased with the results I've achieved with it.
Assembly was pretty straight forward, just four nuts and bolts and you're ready to go.
One thing I did notice is that if your material isn't quite even, it will help square it up because of how even it applies pressure. For instance I had four pieces of stock that I was making into a frame and they varied about 1/8" (one was 18 7/8", another 19", another 18 15/16", and another 18 7/8"). Instead of trimming it all down to the exact size I just went for it. After glueing, clamping, and waiting a day I checked the diagonals to see how square it was and all diagonals measured about a 32nd within 26 1/2", pretty impressive especially considering I didn't have completely perfect stock.
I then started to make some movie sized picture frames with it, cut the materials to exact measurements this time and the frames came out PERFECT.
Now the only real issue I have with this is that the plastic clamp pads are already starting to wear out from moving and repositioning them into the holes of the aluminum bar and I have yet to find a place to get replacement pads... so I'll more then likely end up making my own to solve this issue.
Great clamp, works great, breaks down to store easy, a must have for the common woodworker!
Pros:
Fairly cheap.
Works fantastically.
Makes super tight and clean corners.
So easy a monkey can use it.
Cons:
Can't seem to find replacement parts for it anywhere, so if the clamp pads wear out or break I'm kinda SOL.
