Fast and Easy DIY Pneumatic Clamping System

- A flick of the switch is all it takes to provide strong clamping power-up to 34 pounds-with these pneumatic clamp kits. Their speed makes them ideal for repetitive clamping tasks, such as for face frame assembly, and as hold-downs or push clamps for drill presses and CNC tables. Rockler makes ordering easy with your choice of two all-in-one Starter Kits that include all the components* you need for either a vertical or horizontal clamp. You can then easily add additional clamps (up to 4 per regulator) by purchasing vertical or horizontal Expansion Kits (both types can use the same regulator and switch, at the same time). The clamps slide into standard T-track for easy adjustability, and they can also be screwed down for more permanent clamping fixtures.

This is fantastic! I haven't used pneumatic clamps since I worked in a large millwork shop. These would be great to set up on a homemade horizontal boring machine for drawer production.
For the mortiser looks perfect
Looks like it will get in the way of doing any real work
It be useful to me it would need a 20mm base you can insert into an MFT so you can quickly adjust the size.
I figure you are probab;y a salesman, but I have a question for anyone who would like to answer. How good it a pneumatic cylinder for maintaining clamping force while performing operatins, such as hammering, grinding etc. for a shop vise?
Thanks for the video I will be checking out those clamps.
Unless this system is permanently set up on a dedicated workbench, it looks to be too much trouble to set up and breakdown. I'll stick with regular clamps.
are the regulator and air filter absolutely necessary?
Yes. The air regulator controls the speed and precision of air flow. It also maintains pressure at a level that's right for the system, and can reduce pressure coming into the system upstream while maintaining constant flow downstream. Regulators help systems run efficiently by determining the exact air pressure, so that energy isn't wasted by using too much air. Too high pressure could risk damaging the machine, and too little can mean that the machine isn't receiving enough output and wouldn't clamp securely.
The air filter cleans the air that travels from the compressor. The filter scrubs, strains, and traps solid particles, like dust, dirt, rust, and separates liquids, such as water and oil, within the compressed air. Compressed air systems must be kept clean and dry to ensure continued reliability.
I have more clamps then I am sure I need. However, every time I go into a store that sells them, I seem to always pick up a couple more.
Do these provide enough pressure for glue ups?
The pneumatic clamping system is designed primarily for securing and releasing workpieces quickly, making it great for repetitive machining operations. It's not designed to provide the kind of clamping pressure typically needed for glue-ups.

To high tech for me. To much trouble to keep setting up and taking apart. I will stick with the old way
