If you need a lot of clamping power, making your own cam clamps is an inexpensive way to go. Nick explains how to design a cam that will not slip under pressure, and walks you step by step through the construction of four clamps, each with a different bar, wood and metal, round and rectangular. This allows you to choose among several options for high strength, low cost, and ease of construction.

We offer a digital project plan for these clamps, including detailed instructions, FULL SIZE templates and patterns for the jaws and cams, an in-depth tutorial explaining how to design your own no-slip cams, and detailed drawings with both Imperial/English and metric dimensions. You can find it in the Workshop Companion General Store at [ Ссылка ] .
