Panel Max Glue Press System
Tired of buckled panels, messy gluing tables, heavy pipe clamps or loss of valuable floor or workbench space? Yeah, we were too! The Panel Max Glue Press System not only eliminates each of these issues, it is also user friendly and can be expanded to accommodate most any size panel you need to glue up! It does all this while producing well laminated boards or flat panels each and every time you use it. Much better than traditional clamps like pipe clamps, f-clamps or bar clamps!
The Panel Max Glue Press System applies even press on both ends and both sides of your panel project which helps create high quality joints and eliminates buckled or warped panels. This alone is reason enough to include this system in your workshop collection of "go to" tools. Of course, that's not all. The Panel Max has linking arms or more accurately a top and bottom pressure assembly that adjust to any thickness of stock from 0" up to 5".

Thats alotta pressure!
The Panel Max was designed to apply pressure on all four sides of your panel. This alone is makes it worth every penny! Not only does it apply 4 way pressure, it applies a lot of it too! Up to 1750 pounds of 4 way pressure on your panel helps keep the boards from racking. This is the perfect clamping device for larger panel glue ups.
Flat Panels, Clean Work Areas and No More Heavy, Cumbersome Clamps!
The Panel Max does so much for the average woodworker and professional alike. It helps you produce flat, smooth glued up panels with minimal effort when compared to using traditional methods. It also helps eliminate racking since you don't need to keep adjusting individual clamps as you do with pipe clamps or and bar clamp methods. Not to mention that since its a vertical glue press that mounts to your wall, it stays out of your way! No more taking up your workbench space. Last but not least, we no longer need be concerned about breaking our back when we try to lift a ridiculous number of heavy pipe clamps. Now when your panel is dry, simply remove it from the press and you're done!
Large Width and Thickness Capacity
Simply put, the 43" tall Panel Max will clamp panels as wide 41" when using 3/4" thick stock. When clamping 5" thick stock, the Panel Max clamp capacity is 39". These capacities will work for the vast majority of panel projects in your workshop.
Expand at Your Own Pace
The Panel Max can be lengthened to any length you need. Typically the maximum length of a panel for the base Panel Max with 3 vertical glue press assemblies is approximately 40". We recommend that you have a vertical glue press assembly at 12" intervals on center for optimal performance. The Panel Max comes with 1 each 39" mounting rail and 3 each vertical glue press assemblies to get you started.

Pinch Dogs
As the old saying goes; “you can never have too many clamps” if you’re a woodworker. This holds especially true when it comes to achieving near seamless or tight fitting joinery. While using long bar clamps or pipe clamps to glue up panels will work, sometimes you may need a helping hand or “pinch” in certain cases to get the seem just right. Using pinch dogs to pull your or “pinch” the panel joint together is an old tried and true method that is still commonly used today.

Pinch Dogs
As the old saying goes; “you can never have too many clamps” if you’re a woodworker. This holds especially true when it comes to achieving near seamless or tight fitting joinery. While using long bar clamps or pipe clamps to glue up panels will work, sometimes you may need a helping hand or “pinch” in certain cases to get the seem just right. Using pinch dogs to pull your or “pinch” the panel joint together is an old tried and true method that is still commonly used today.
Lets keep em' together
Many times when we want to hold two boards together we reach for large, cumbersome clamps. While clamps do work of course, there are times when the can be a little overkill. With the Fulton Pinch Dogs, you'll be able to simply tap a pinch dog over a seam between two boards and it will draw the two boards tightly together. You can also use pinch dogs in conjunction with clamps depending on the size of your project.
Just a Few Taps
With just a few taps, you can have snuggly fit boards to form a panel. Once the glue on the panel is dry, remove the pinch dogs and cut off the ends to get rid of any blemishes.
Textured Pinch Dogs
Many other pinch dog brands have a smooth surface. The Fulton Pinch dogs are textured and they are textured to help make sure that the pinch dog won't slip out once it is in the wood. Other brands tend to give and slip over time.
You can never have to many pinch dogs
The old saying goes something like; " you can never have to many clamps". Well, the same goes for pinch dogs, which are essentially clamps in a way. The more you have, the more boards you can "clamp" together to form a large panel.
WIDE FLAT TOP - TEXTURED SURFACE - TAPERED TEETH
We designed the pinch dog with a wide, flat top to offer more of striking surface when tapping it in. The textured surface help keep the pinch dog from sliding or slipping out of the wood once it is tapped in. Each pinch dog has two tapered teeth. The taper is on the inside of the pinch dog teeth. As you're tapping the pinch dog into the wood the tapered teeth draw the two sides toward the center of the pinch dog. This helps create a nice tight seam.
Features:
Made from solid steel to ensure long lasting durability
Each dog is lightly textured to provide some “bite” so they wont slip out like some of the coated versions you may find.
Each pinch dog comes to a tapered point on each side to help pull your stock in toward the center of the pinch dog to give the best clamping results possible.
Available in 1-1/2" & 2" width
