This clamp set includes absolutely everything you could possibly need to make frames for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 sided shapes alongside mitred boxes using our 105mm Box Makers Kit!! Hence the name 'The Full Monty'!
These clamps make building picture frames and mitred boxes quick, accurate, and repeatable. Other sets get close, but we wanted to offer improved reliability at a more affordable price.
We also wanted them 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. Furthermore, all the corners are marginally acute so they naturally pull tight to give you perfect, clean joints, with as little fiddling as possible.
Meanwhile the included Stackers for the Box Makers Kit are made with the same reinforced plastic combined with Neodymium magnets to make assembly quick and easy.
Each set comes in a custom laser-cut, foam-lined box to keep everything in place.
All rods and thumb wheels are individually checked and deburred after machining to ensure a smooth, precise fit.
Please note the rods are not stored inside the box, as this would significantly increase its size. Most users store the rods vertically using the supplied hook-and-loop cable tie.
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 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.
