This clamp set makes building picture frames quick, accurate, and repeatable. Other sets get close, but we wanted to offer improved reliability at a more affordable price.

We also wanted it to last. So we chose materials that stand up to repeated use time and time again.

The corner brackets are 3D printed in carbon fibre reinforced composite plastic with precisely aligned brass threaded inserts. The corners naturally pull tight to give you perfect, clean joints, with as little fiddling as possible.

Each set is supplied in a custom laser-cut, foam-lined box and all rods and thumb wheels are individually checked and/or deburred after machining to ensure a smooth, precise fit.

All kits (including the 'No Rods' kits) come with the corner blocks, thumb wheels, and washers as standard.

Picture Frame Clamp Sizing

Mini

M4 Rods - 0.7mm Thread Pitch

7mm height blocks

Small / Medium / Large / Extra Large

M6 Rods - 1mm Thread Pitch

21mm height blocks

MAX

M10 Rods - 1.5mm Thread Pitch

31mm height blocks

All 'No Rods' kits come with all the necessary blocks, thumb wheels, washers, and packaging. The only thing they are missing are the rods, to either source yourself or add to a kit you already have.

Tips for Consistent Results

  • Apply low-tack masking tape to the internal faces of the clamp blocks to reduce glue build-up and simplify cleaning.
  • Always clamp on a flat, rigid surface with both the profiles and the clamps bearing firmly against it to maintain accurate 90° mitres.
  • Dry-assemble the frame and test fit the clamps before applying glue.
  • Wipe away squeeze-out immediately while the glue is still wet.
  • Avoid over-tightening. Apply firm, even pressure only.
  • Ensure mitres are accurately cut and square before clamping; clamps cannot correct poor cuts.
  • Keep clamp faces clean and free from hardened adhesive between uses.
  • Use even pressure on all corners to prevent racking.
  • Allow sufficient curing time before removing clamps.

Please Note

  • The rods are not stored inside the box. Most users store the rods vertically using the supplied hook-and-loop cable tie.
  • We offer the Extra Large variant of the products, not because of the frame sizes it can make, but rather the variety of options it provides with multiple lengths of rods and connectors.

Beautifully made and very well packaged

Beautifully made and very well packaged. Simple but effective. Perhaps the spinnymajig could be made from a softer material to improve grip, but it works.

The perfect 4 sided clamp

I purchased one set of the 500x500 clamps and they’re brilliant! If you need a 4 sided clamp these are the ones you want. The threads are super smooth, nuts are easy to adjust and the clamp heads are slim which is for great for finer woodwork. The clamp heads & nuts come in a useful storage box and the threaded bars have a Velcro tie. Didn’t get the spinnymajig but looking back would’ve been a good shout!

Ingenious

Ingenious, essential and easy to use! I bought the 500x500 version for squaring/clamping trays and I'm happyto report it has surpassed expectations and made glue ups so much better/hassle free!!! Amazing product Matt. Bravo 👏 👏 👏 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

These are just great !

These are just great !What would be good is a cam lock quick release /apply design and laser etched illuminous graduation marks so you can align corners all accurately and quickly before applying pressure via clamps /screws So much better than the bessey ribbon clamp.

They work fantastic

They work fantastic, just wish I had ordered the drill attachment with it right away, but I quickly rectified that oversight. Great product Matt.

Perfect for clamping our CardKitty cradles and boxes!

I’ve been looking for a decent option for clamping some particularly awkward to align products (https://garden55crafts.co.uk/products/the-card-kitty-cradle) for ages, and these are the perfect option, no twisting as they tighten like so many other clamps do so everything stays square and can be adjusted/tightened with fingertip control. Beautifully presented, and fab consistent quality!

Another class shop accessory

I’m ne of the major pains of making picture frames was clamping the mitres up, not anymore. These nifty corner clamps are excellent, the knurled screws enable good solid even pressure and the plastic clamps do not damage the wood. They come in a really nice package to keep all the parts together between uses. The fact you can get them without the threaded rod was a good option to allow for the purchase of a size of rod your choice. Another amazing addition to the collection well done guys.

Best Ever!

I have bought all sorts
Of corner clamps over the years and none of them come close to the accuracy I can achieve with these rods. I used them for the first time today and now I am planning all sorts of picture frames for presents etc. well
done boys!

So good I bought two!

Another great product from Matt & Team, not only does it work really well, but as usual with these guys they are beautifully packaged - to the point it almost seems a shame to remove them from it!! As the rods are completely separate and standard diameters it means you can swap them in and out for lengths that suit your project (within the tolerance of the rod diameter you are using, with the 6mm rod I’ve gone up to 50cm). I use it for frames, boxes, anything square basically. Highly recommended!

AS ALWAYS

AS ALWAYS, GREAT PRODUCT, GREAT SERVICE, GREAT PRICE, FAST DELIVERY. IT'S ALL JUST GREAT.

Hi Geoff, thank you for the review! Could I be realllly cheeky and ask why you didn't give us 5 stars? It would be great to know how we could improve! Cheers, Rob

Solved a framing problem I have

I've bought 2 sets, 1 for small 50cm frames, and another set for 1 metre frames.
I've tried several ways to clamp mitre joins with mixed success. These clamps never fail. The accurate flush join makes my frames perfect every time, no clean up required, or sanding, which you don't want with frames, as you then have to paint, or disguise the area.
A fabulous, affordable solution.

Clamps for box making can be a challenge but not with the full Monty

Clamps for box making can be a challenge but not with the full Monty. This clamping system allows clamping at the correct position and force. It comes with angled blocks for doing various sided boxes which I have not used yet.
