should be a top performer in your shop i don't know why it surprised me that the dominant
clamp manufacturing and woodworking would make the best pipe clamps but it did and they do the bessie
8 series pipe clamps begin with a very well made very clean iron casting clamping pressure is
developed using this very cleanly made acme thread that develops pressure smoothly and easily the
h-shaped feet on the main side of this clamp give it a lot of stability but it's their height
that puts them head and shoulders above the rest so to speak the taller legs on the bessie
8-series clamps push the handle up where you can use it without hitting your knuckles on the
table this makes you wonder why anybody ever made pipe clamps the other way the betsy h-series
clamps also include this slip-on plastic cover those covers help prevent marking or standing
wood it makes getting glue off much easier the sliding jaw also has the tall wide legs
that keep the bar level and the clamps stable the clutch plates that lock the sliding jar
very precisely made and easy to use all of these features add up to a pipe clamp that's
very easy to use the bessie h-series pipe clamps are very well made and equipped with the kind
of innovation that keeps other clam companies chasing them in the marketplace and best of all
despite the high-end features of manufacturing the bessie 8-series pipe clamps cost only
a few dollars more than the standard ones the drawer slide jig from craig makes it easier
than you've ever imagined to build projects with drawers which means you can create projects

the drawer boxes as well to ensure that the slides get installed on them with perfect alignment too

furniture without frames the versatile drawer slide jig clamps in place easily and the jig works
with ball bearing epoxy coated and under mount slides using the drawer slide jig couldn't be
simpler built-in tabs register the jig's brackets in place precisely just align the tabs with the
face frame and then clamp the bracket in place this positions the bracket exactly where you
needed to place the jig at the right height and does it without measuring ensuring foolproof
level positioning of the slide on frameless cabinets and cases the process is still simple
the brackets register against the front edge of the cabinet and clamp in place at the layout
line sitting straight and level every time once clamped in place the jig's brackets support
the drawer slide completely providing that third hand you've always needed to hold the slides in
place no matter how big or heavy the slide the drawer slide jig holds it in straight and level
so you have both hands free to drive in the screws and the drawer slide jig doesn't stop there
after all the job isn't complete until the drawer box itself is aligned and installed that's
why the jig's brackets are reversible so they can be mounted to protrude out of the cabinet and
hold that drawer box in the exact right position that allows you to set the drawer box on the
brackets and then pull the slides into position the sturdy brackets hold everything in
place as you drive in the mounting screws with the craig drawer slide jig you'll have the
