CFF Clamp Creation
Appearance
Instructions

- Prepare the Stock Pieces:
- Grab the unbent Xometry stock pieces.
- Measure and Bend the Tabs:
- Determine the length of the unbent tab using the model.
- Place the stock in the sheet metal bender, positioning it at the correct distance.
- Bend the stock slightly past 90 degrees.
- Ensure the piece is lined up parallel to the stop.
- Bend all stock pieces on each side in the same direction.
- Form the Circular Shape:
- Use a 2-inch bender die (found on the floor bender near the CNC mill) to wrap the stock around and form a circle.
- Ensure that the pre-bent edges are facing outward.
- Use a 1 3/4-inch bender die to further tighten the circular shape.
- Final Adjustments:
- Test each clamp on a CFF furnace to ensure a proper fit when tightened.
