The MLCS 9012 Merle Adjustable Corner Band Clamp is designed to deliver even clamping pressure and accurate alignment across a wide range of frame and assembly projects. A steel band system applies consistent force around the entire perimeter, while pivoting and self-adjusting non-marring ABS jaw inserts automatically align to changing angles to support square, rectangular, circular, and irregular shapes without damaging finished surfaces. The clamp uses a single main tightening handle paired with a smooth band reel to allow controlled tensioning and quick release during setup. Cast aluminum construction combined with heavy-duty steel banding maintains strength and stability under sustained clamping pressure to keep joints aligned during glue-up. Removable quick-release corner heads allow fast reconfiguration, and additional corner and jaw inserts can be added to support complex or custom assemblies. With a clamping range from 2-5/8" × 2-5/8" up to 69" × 69" and a total perimeter capacity of up to 23 feet, this clamp provides reliable performance for frames, boxes, cabinet assemblies, and multi-sided or circular projects.

Features:

• Delivers even clamping pressure around the entire assembly by using a steel band system that applies consistent force across all corners and contact points.
• Adapts to square, rectangular, circular, and irregular shapes by using pivoting and self-adjusting non-marring ABS jaw inserts that automatically align to changing angles while protecting finished surfaces.
• Allows precise size control and secure clamping by using an integrated steel band reel to tighten the band around the project and a dedicated band lock / release lever that locks the band in position to prevent slipping during assembly.
• Enables quick reconfiguration for different project sizes by using removable quick-release corner heads that can be repositioned or expanded as needed.
• Expands versatility beyond standard frames and panels by allowing additional corner and jaw inserts (MLCS 9013) to be added for complex shapes and custom assemblies.
• Maintains strength and stability through a cast aluminum body and heavy-duty steel banding that hold alignment without loosening under sustained clamping pressure.
• Supports small to large assemblies by clamping project sizes from 2-5/8" × 2-5/8" up to 69" × 69" and accommodating frames and multi-sided projects with a total perimeter of up to 23 feet.
• Provides even clamping pressure and accurate alignment for frames, boxes, cabinet assemblies, and multi-sided or circular projects.
