What is an "F-clamp"?
An F-clamp is a type of clamp used to hold materials together, typically in woodworking or construction. It has a long, straight bar in the shape of the letter "F," with adjustable arms that allow for varying widths. One arm has a fixed end that stays in place, while the other arm is adjustable and tightened using a screw mechanism. The adjustable arm moves along the bar to accommodate different sizes of materials. F-clamps are commonly used to apply pressure for gluing, assembling, or securing parts during work.
Example
The carpenter used an F-clamp to hold the wood pieces together while the glue dried.
The technician reached for an F-clamp to keep the metal plates steady while drilling holes.
