BORA Clamps and Hold-Downs for Secure Workholding

BORA clamps and hold-downs are designed to provide reliable, controlled pressure when securing timber and sheet materials during woodworking tasks. Effective clamping is essential for accuracy, safety, and consistency, particularly when cutting, routing, drilling, or assembling components.

These clamping solutions are engineered to accommodate a wide range of workpieces, from small components to large panels. Quick-adjust mechanisms and ergonomic designs allow for fast setup while maintaining strong, even pressure across the workpiece.

Hold-down clamps are particularly useful for keeping materials flat and stable, reducing movement and vibration during machining operations. When combined with portable workstations or bench systems, they create a flexible and adaptable workholding setup.

FAQs

What are BORA clamps and hold-downs used for?

BORA clamps and hold-downs are used to secure timber and sheet materials during cutting, drilling, routing, sanding, and assembly.

How do hold-down clamps differ from standard clamps?

Hold-down clamps apply downward pressure to keep materials flat, while standard clamps typically apply lateral pressure to hold pieces together.

Are these clamps suitable for portable workstations?

Yes, many BORA clamps and hold-downs are designed to integrate with portable workstation systems for flexible, on-site workholding.

Can clamps be used on delicate timber?

Yes, using protective pads or applying moderate pressure helps prevent marking or damage to delicate timber surfaces.

What size clamp do I need?

Clamp size depends on the thickness and width of the workpiece, as well as the required reach. Choosing a clamp with sufficient capacity ensures secure holding.

Are quick-release clamps strong enough?

Quick-release clamps provide excellent holding power for many tasks, particularly when speed and convenience are important.

How should clamps be maintained?

Regularly clean clamps, check moving parts for smooth operation, and store them in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.

Can clamps improve cutting accuracy?

Yes, securely clamped materials are less likely to move during cutting, resulting in cleaner, more accurate cuts.
