Toggle Clamps for Woodworking Jigs, Router Tables & Fixtures
Toggle clamps use an over-center lever mechanism that locks the clamp arm in position with a single downward motion. Once engaged, the geometry of the linkage resists opening under load, so workpieces stay firmly held even during heavy routing or milling passes. They are the standard hardware choice for shop-made jigs, coping sleds, box jigs, and router table fixtures.
This collection includes manual toggle clamps in medium and full sizes, quick-release designs for rapid workpiece changes, and auto-adjusting models that accommodate varying material thicknesses without re-setting the spindle height. The Quick Set Knob system converts a standard toggle clamp into a tool-free height-adjusting unit, which is especially useful when clamping boards of slightly different thickness in the same jig.
Manual vs. Auto-Adjust Toggle Clamps: Which to Choose
Manual toggle clamps require you to set the spindle to a fixed height before use — straightforward for repetitive cuts on stock of uniform thickness. Auto-adjust models like the Auto Adjust Toggle Clamps spring-load the spindle so it self-compensates for minor thickness variations. For versatile jigs that clamp different stock, the Quick Set System for Toggle Clamps provides a fast tool-free setting method.
- Over-center locking holds workpieces without constant hand pressure
- Mount to T-track, plywood, or MDF jig bodies with standard fasteners
- Quick-release handles reduce downtime between workpiece changes
