Homemade Telescoping Tube Clamps. No views 56 seconds ago This is a video of the usage of our MC-1 Telescoping Tube Clamps. The MC-1 clamp sits on the end of a 1 inch OD Round Tube and will accept and. Telescoping is required when the ability to adjust tubing or piping to account for an unknown or constantly-changing width is essential. Examples include adjustable.
As a metallurgy teacher, I want to provide you with some information on how to make homemade telescoping tube clamps. This is an easy project that can be completed with minimal tools and some basic understanding of metallurgy.
To begin, you will need to collect the supplies for your homemade telescoping tube clamps. You will need a piece of flat stock metal, such as aluminum or steel, that is the same thickness as the tubes you will be clamping. It is also important to note that the length of the flat stock should be slightly longer than the length of the tubes you are clamping. You will also need a hacksaw or an angle grinder for cutting the flat stock, as well as a drill and drill bits for making the holes in the flat stock.
Once you have collected all of the necessary supplies, you can begin constructing your telescoping tube clamps. The first step is to measure and mark the flat stock. You will need to measure the length of the tube you are clamping and mark the flat stock to the same length. You will then need to mark the flat stock in the middle, which will be the center point for the holes you will be drilling.
The next step is to cut the flat stock to size. Using either the hacksaw or angle grinder, cut the flat stock to the length you marked. Once the flat stock is cut to length, you can move on to drilling the holes. Using the drill and drill bits, make two holes in the flat stock, one on each side of the center mark. The holes should be slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the tube you are clamping.
Once the holes are drilled, you can begin assembling the telescoping tube clamps. Insert the tube into the two holes you drilled. Secure the tube in place by placing a bolt through the holes and tightening it with a wrench or screwdriver. You can now add a second tube of the same diameter, if desired, and secure it in place with a second bolt. You can now use your homemade telescoping tube clamps to secure your materials in place.
Making homemade telescoping tube clamps is a great way to save money and make your own custom clamps for any project. With a little bit of knowledge and the right supplies, you can easily make your own telescoping tube clamps and save money in the process.
