About this generator

The Clamp Generator is one of the free customizers in OwlCAD, a browser-based parametric CAD tool. It makes a screw clamp: a C-clamp to reach round the work, or a two-plate clamp with two screws to grip a tube, a rail or a table edge.

For pipe you name the stock instead of measuring it: 3/4 in PVC, EMT conduit and copper are three different outside diameters, and the V-groove is cut from the published size. You can also enter a diameter from 3 to 200 mm, or choose a flat jaw. You set the reach, opening, frame thickness and width, and the screw size (M5 to M10). The frame is tapped for a printed thread so it needs no hardware, or you can cut it for a real bolt and nut.

It runs in the browser with no account and costs nothing; only OwlCAD's AI features are paid. It is one of 35 free OwlCAD customizers, and you can open the result in the full editor if you want to change more. Its terms give you full commercial rights to what you make, the free plan included.
