Having made a homemade stand made of metal, you can use a hand clamp ("dog") as a bench vise. This device is suitable for quick fixation of workpieces and small parts made of metal or wood.
Homemade stand can be easily installed anywhere in the workshop or garage, where there is a table or workbench. Moreover, the cost of the entire structure is extremely small. You can literally make a homemade stand for manual clamping within 1-2 hours.
First of all, we cut off three pieces of the same length of the square, remove the chamfer on one side, and then weld together. We weld a nut to one edge of the part. We beat off the slag, we clean the welds so that the workpiece looks more aesthetically pleasing.
The process of making a homemade stand
Also for this homemade product you will need two more pieces of a square bar, only a smaller section. We grind a little metal from one edge, and then weld together at a certain angle. Then grind the slightly loose ends.
After two square rods are joined together, we weld the part to a rectangular steel plate. In the middle of the plate you need to cut out a wedge grinder.
We weld a manual clip to the top of the resulting structure. Then it remains only to make a knob to fix the stand to the table. To do this, you can use a suitable bolt and a piece of square bar.
We recommend you watch the video, which clearly shows the process of manufacturing the stand for manual clamping.
