[Woodworking DIY] Let's make a low-cost, high-precision "corner clamp jig". 

This is the perfect woodworking tool for box building.
● Conventional problems
Many of the commercially available products I have purchased so far have poor right angle accuracy and cannot be used as is.
Especially with mail order, you don't know the accuracy of the product you receive, and you don't know whether they will accept exchanges based on the accuracy. This is because the concept of acceptable range differs from person to person, and when it comes to problems other than obvious damage, once it is called a specification, that's it.
In addition, there were many problems with the structure or strength.
If you buy it and it doesn't work, it's just trash.
● Means of solution
There are two ways I know of to obtain a corner clamp with high precision.
One way is to order it from a specialist and have it made to order. Although you can get products of very high quality and the precision you desire, the product prices are extremely high.
The other way is to make it yourself. Since this only involves the cost of materials and your own labor, the price is often cheaper than commercially available products. You can pursue what you want in terms of accuracy and specifications.
I decided to build one.
This time, I used a layered structure where parts are divided and assembled.
Since straight parts are constructed while checking with a ruler, there is no need for special tools such as jigsaws or complicated cuts.
In addition, when the cut surface is set as a right-angled reference, highly accurate machining is a prerequisite, but in a layered structure, if the ruler's reference is a right angle and the angle fixed at 90 degrees of the cut surface is accurate, a certain degree of precision is required. It will be possible to take it out.
Of course, if you are a user who can make accurate cuts, you can create a high-precision right-angle guide jig at a low price, which is difficult to do with commercially available products.
● Effect of idea
The corner clamp jig we created this time has a higher precision than commercially available products because we made it ourselves.
In addition, the "position guide" effect to maintain the correct position greatly reduces setup effort and time. Furthermore, it prevents the mistake of fixing diagonally and contributes to highly accurate fixation at right angles.
If you have a large-scale woodworking project that requires a large number of corner clamps, wouldn't this idea be perfect for making inexpensive, high-quality corner jigs?
