Q: Why do I need this for steam bending?
A strap clamp keeps the outside face of a steamed bend from stretching past its very small failure margin, which is what lets tight bends succeed without the wood cracking.
05F1001 - Strap Clamp for 1 1/4" material
Width:
A strap clamp keeps the outside face of a steamed bend from stretching past its very small failure margin, which is what lets tight bends succeed without the wood cracking.
The kit includes a 10' steel strap, an adjustable end stop, a ratchet wrench, a socket and an instruction booklet, though a fixed end stop needs its own bolts.
The 1 1/4" size suits lighter stock and tighter forms, while the 2" size handles heavier stock; match the width to the square dimension of the wood you're bending.
Yes, simple bends also need a shop-made form and a fixed end stop, since the strap alone doesn't hold the wood's shape.
