No matter how carefully you joint and plane material, when you put a group of boards in your clamps there’s always just a little bit of twist, cup or bow left and the faces don’t line up perfectly. Blame Mother Nature.  Stress in the boards is released as you machine them. With each new surface you create, the boards are being pulled in new and different directions. Woodworkers have dealt with this problem in hundreds of different ways for thousands of years…with mixed results. The new Joint Bridges provide a novel, problem solving solution to this age-old problem. In a nut shell, they localize the pressure to even out each joint individually. And do it without getting inadvertently glued to your carefully-prepared work piece. These simple, economical clamping aids deliver smoother, flatter panel glue-ups which require less planing and sanding.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoint Bridges are ideal \u003c\/b\u003efor creating today’s popular through-inlay cutting boards. Your inlay strips can be up to 1\/2\" thicker than the board without interference from the Joint Bridge, something not possible with traditional clamping cauls.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoint Bridges align the panel sections flat \u003c\/b\u003eto each other.

Woodpeckers Joint Bridges are formed from glass-reinforced polycarbonate. It’s the same tough material used in our box clamps and knuckle clamps and handle shop abuse and glue quite well. They’re so useful for so many clamping applications that we offer them by the 12-pack  (12 will do the ends of a 4-section panel).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eLike all Woodpeckers tools, \u003c\/b\u003e the new Joint Bridges are proudly made in their Strongsville, Ohio facility in the Cleveland suburbs. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woodpeckers","offers":[{"title":"Joint-Bridge Clamping Pads","offer_id":40457723740229,"sku":"JB-22","price":89.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rack-It","offer_id":42317870137413,"sku":"JB-RI","price":49.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0011\/8600\/5039\/products\/joint-bridge-clamping-set.png?v=1671222321"},{"product_id":"clampzilla-30-4-way-panel-clamp","title":"ClampZILLA 3.0 - 4 Way Panel Clamp","description":"\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c!--\nred {\n  color: white !important;\n  background-color: #7f241c;\n  padding: 10px;\n  border-radius: 5px;\n  font-style: italic;\n}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWoodpeckers ClampZILLA 4-Way Panel Clamp \u003c\/strong\u003eplaces bars on both sides of your stock, joined together by a self-centering scissors joint on both ends. ClampZILLA focuses the lateral pressure on the exact centre of your panel (which avoids bowing), while applying vertical pressure to keep the faces correctly aligned. That's been true for two OneTIME Tool releases but now, version 3.0 have been improved with more attachment points in the bars and a new scissors joint design that applies almost double the vertical clamping pressure and improves clearance on thicker work. It's the best ClampZILLA ever, and its part of the permanent product line-up at Woodpeckers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn addition to keeping your panels flatter, \u003c\/strong\u003eClampZILLA saves you both time and money. You would need 2 regular bar clamps plus 2 \"F\" clamps and a set of clamping cauls to replace one ClampZILLA 4-Way Panel Clamp. That's four screws that you have to adjust while ClampZILLA applies vertical and horizontal pressure simultaneously by simply turning one screw.

For jobs thinner than 5\/8\", you can add a piece of 3\/4\" material above and below your stock and get all the benefits of ClampZILLA's centered lateral pressure and simultaneous vertical pressure on stock down to 1\/4\", or even less. End spacers are no longer needed on thick glue-ups and the vertical pressure is almost double that of their previous design. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClampZILLA earned its unusual name \u003c\/strong\u003ewhen we ran it through some torture testing. It took a three-foot long cheater bar and all of the product developer's strength to break the Acme-threaded clamping screw. Just before failure, ClampZILLA was exerting over 6,500 pounds of clamping pressure. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClampZILLA is designed for the long haul. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe steel bars and clamping pads are powder-coated for a tough, long-lasting finish...dried glue usually just pops right off. All the clamping mechanism components are machined from zinc-plated harded steel, except the clamp screw pivot, which is machined from brass.
