Are you tired of buckled panels and messy gluing tables?
The PLANO Vertical Glue Press will keep your valuable floor and bench space clear, while automatically assuring you of a well-laminated, flat panel or board, every time. And you won’t even need dowels or biscuits!
Why PLANO is your BEST solution for gluing solid wood panels.
PLANO produces a superior quality glued-up panel.
Unique, patented PLANO design provides pressure on both edges and both faces of the project, creating superior quality joints and completely eliminating buckled panels.
PLANO can handle almost any size panel you need.
Thickness: PLANO’s linking arms automatically adjust to any board thickness from 0+ up to 5”.
Length: limited only by the length of the wall where you mount your PLANO, and by number of mounting rails you have installed (onto which you hang your PLANO clamps). Just butt one 39.37” (1000mm) mounting rail next to another: the final rail can be easily cut off to suit your exact requirements, if needed. We recommend one PLANO clamp for every 12” of rail.
Width: PLANO clamps are available in three heights: the original 43” (1100mm), the expanded 49” (1250mm), and the latest addition to the program, the 55” (1400mm) clamp. Clamp height determines maximum clamping width, since panels are held on their side in the PLANO system. All sizes let you clamp a single large panel or multiple narrower panels at one time, up to the total capacity of the clamp. To clamp several smaller panels edge-to-edge, simply leave out the glue between the last and first boards, respectively, of the adjacent panels.
Note: The shorter the clamp, the easier it is to load and unload. We therefore recommend you order only the height you will actually need, to ensure that using your PLANO will be as easy and convenient as possible!
PLANO is maintenance-free.
PLANO clamps are easily cleaned of glue residue and are designed to ensure a lifetime of consistent operation and professional-quality results.
PLANO makes stronger joints than conventional clamps or less advanced systems.
Unlike pipe/bar clamps which invariably “pinch” slightly on the bar side, PLANO applies centered and even pressure to the gluing surface because it completely surrounds the joint, resulting in a stronger, better-looking joint even without the use of dowels or biscuits.
PLANO saves you space.
Vertical wall mounting cuts the shop surface area required for gluing up with conventional bar clamps, gluing racks or gluing tables by up to 90%.
PLANO saves you money.
Wide boards cost more and tend to warp; with your PLANO you can easily glue up more affordable narrow boards to produce wide, warp-resistant panels. And because Plano properly aligns your boards better, panels glue up flat and require less planing and surfacing, That lets you start the process with less surplus wood thickness, too, so you can save even more on your lumber purchases.
PLANO saves time and effort.
vertical position of panels makes loading easy and reduces drying time.
properly set up, panels can never “rack”: your panels are always square.
proper alignment of the boards (no buckling) saves hours of planing and sanding.
Dowels and biscuits become unnecessary, further reducing cost and time.
Enlarged Lip
The Advanced Water Trough AWT-250 has an enlarged standard lip which ensures that your workbench stays free from water.
Magnet Cleans the Stone of Steel Particles
The water trough incorporates a strong magnet, which attracts the steel particles ground from the tools being sharpened. This keeps your stone clean and cutting more freely. These small steel particles are otherwise pressed into the stone surface and can disturb the sharpening. When cleaning the water trough, you’ll find that most of the steel will be located right on the magnet. It can be wiped off the water trough with a paper towel or rag.
Water Chute for Long Tools
For long tools that drip water over the edge of the lip (like chef’s knives and planer blades), just add the water chute. It attaches easily and directs the water back into the trough.
Tilt Shoes Control the Water Flow
Two Tilt Shoes are supplied with the AWT-250. You can use them to raise the honing wheel side of the machine so the water follows the tool towards the outside of the stone and runs back into the water trough. You minimize the water dripping onto the housing. This is an advantage especially when sharpening wide tools. When not required they can be stored magnetically under the machine.
Fits Tormek T-7, Tormek 2000 and all older models with 250 mm (10") stone.
