Product Description
Whenever a solid wood edgeband has to be glued to a panel’s edge, whether a thin strip of 3mm hardwood or a heavy, wide moulding along a table edge, one never seems to have enough of the right clamps. They are too short, way too long, too heavy and there are rarely enough.
Enter the Hoffmann Edge Clamp – a small, easy to handle but heavy-duty, professional level clamp made in Austria for woodworking shops of all sizes. From smaller custom shops to furniture factories, everyone needs a reliable means of clamping solid wood edgebanding without running the risk of damaging the panel by inadvertently dropping a long bar clamp on it.
The Hoffmann Edge Clamp features cast aluminum construction and works equally well on straight runs of shelving, table tops or interior doors and on any type of curved panel that cannot be clamped with bar clamps anyway.
Our Edge Clamp is offered in two versions, differentiated by the maximum panel thickness they can lock onto.
Edge Clamp Standard 10-48mm can be used on panels between 3/8” to 1 9/16” thick – this is by far the most popular model and its range allows the use on most standard interior doors.
Maximum width of edge: 2" (52mm)
Edge Clamp Standard-XL 10-80 is the larger version and will accept panels up to 3 1/8” thick. Typical applications include heavy acoustic panels, full sized doors, etc. This is a good choice for shops that occasionally process thicker panels because the minimum panel thickness is the same at 3/8”.
Maximum width of edge: 3" (76mm)
Most shops are best served by purchasing a larger quantity of EC 10-48 for “everyday use” and a few of the larger Edge Clamp-XL 10-80 to be on hand as needed. And again, the EC-XL 10-80 can certainly be used on 3/4” panels as well.
Compared to our Edge Clamp UNI, the Edge Clamp Standard is the older, original design made out of cast aluminum and it can only be used to attach edgeband material. The newer Edge Band UNI has a different yoke design and can be used for attaching edgeband AND for assembling cabinet boxes!
All our Edge Clamps are manufactured by the Schwaiger Company in Austria and is available in the United States exclusively from Hoffmann Machine Company.
