An F-clamp, also known as a bar clamp or speed clamp, is a type of clamp. The name comes from its " F" shape. This tool is used in woodworking while more permanent attachment is being made with screws or glue, or in metalworking to hold pieces together for welding or bolting. F-clamps are similar to but distinct from C-clamps and pipe clamps.
An F-clamp is a type of clamp. It also known as a bar clamp or speed clamp. An F-clamp consists of two horizontal bars joined together by a vertical bar. This gives the clamp an appearance of the letter F. There is a large screw on the lower bar to allow for the clamp to be tightened. [1] F-clamps are adjustable, which allows for them to be used on larger scale objects without the need for a large screw.
This tool is used in woodworking while more permanent attachment is being made with screws or glue, or in metalworking to hold pieces together for welding or bolting. [2]
An F-clamp is also a simple mechanical device used for lifting engine or transmission parts. The clamp has an adjusting screw to tighten onto the part and a lifting ring to attach a hoist cable.[ citation needed]
The F-clamp is similar to a C-clamp in use, but has a wider opening capacity (throat). F-clamps in the industry terminology have the jaws mounted on a flat bar, while a pipe clamp, which has the same construction, is mounted on a pipe, normally of 1/2" or 3/4" diameter.
