	In woodworking, a cramp may be used to hold two or more pieces of wood together for as long as it takes for an adhesive to set. Cramps can also be used to hold together assemblies temporarily (before any adhesive is applied) to see how they will fit together.

In the case of a beam clamp, this creates friction and sometimes keying between the jaws or set screw of its clamp and the structural member being sandwiched. This is the operating principle of dovetail wedges used in re-entrant channels and T-head bolts used in cast-in channel systems. Tightening of the clamps to the correct torque is crucial to correct performance of these devices, as is the correct orientation of the clamps, wedges and T-head bolts.’

A ‘clamp’ (sometimes called a ‘cramp’) is a tool (often made of cast metal) which applies a force to hold two or more parts tightly together. This may be for a temporary period after which the parts will hold together without the aid of the clamp.

‘Clamp’ is a term that tends to be used in engineering while ‘cramp’ tends to be used in woodworking, although to a large extent, the two terms are often used interchangeably.

In woodworking, a cramp is used to hold two or more pieces of wood together for as long as it takes for the adhesive to set. Cramps can also be used to hold together assemblies temporarily (before any adhesive is applied) to see how they will fit together. They can also be used to hold small assemblies together while they are being worked on.

= G- or C-Cramp =

Formed in the shape of a ‘G’ (sometimes referred to as a ‘C’) these metal cramps have a screw mechanism that can be adjusted until the items in question are held tightly. The screw is turned until the object is gripped tightly between the cramp’s adjustable shoe and the cast-metal frame.

= Sash cramps =

These are used to clamp together large frames, for example, window frames or drawers etc. They comprise long metal bars with a screw-adjustable grip at one end; the other end comprises a free-moving jaw that can be adjusted to points at predetermined intervals, usually by inserting pegs into pre-drilled holes. Once the object is in position and the peg inserted into the most suitable hole, the screw end can be adjusted to grip the item firmly.

= Vehicle (or car) clamp =

In another application, a clamp is attached to one wheel of a vehicle in order to immobilise it until a fine is paid to the satisfaction of the clamping authority, usually the police. In this case, the clamp is to prevent mobility rather than force two objects together.
