It leaves joints fully exposed for miter correction. Aluminum construction with steel screws. Made in the USA.

Picture Frame Corner Clamp

Listed below are the same professional picture frame vises in use in our picture frame shop. These Professional picture frame vises are large beautiful moulding vises, very nice. These are much nicer and stronger than the cheaper models being sold. Using one of these picture frame vises you can "work" a troublesome picture frame corner to make it fit, which is more difficult to do using the small picture frame clamps above. Most people buy one or two of these vises if doing more than a couple of dozen frames a year. These vises are equipped with speed handles covered with texform which gives a soft feel and is easy on the hands.

Professional 4 inch Picture Frame Vise

Large 4 inch professional picture frame vise will clamp any picture frame mouldings up to 4 inches wide. This vise is the most common vise and is quite heavy. The jaws hold both pieces very securely. You can easily work corners together using one of these vises. Read more about their use in our learning center. Unlike cheaper brands, this vise is made from very heavy cast steel as are all our professional picture frame vises. These vises will last a lifetime or two..

This is the most commone size vise in use.

Professional Miter Vise

Professional Miter Vise shown is perfect for joining miter joints from 0 degrees to 90 degrees. Note, unlike the common four inch professional vise shown above, this vise features fully adjustable angles with positive stops at 0 degrees, 15 degrees, 30 degrees, 45 degrees, and 90 degrees. It also has tilting features which makes this miter vise unique and easy to work with when joining moldings. This vise opens to 4 1/4 inches and rotates 360 degrees. Please note: This vise is not rusty! The brown coloration seen on the vise above is due to a very heavy coat of protective spray put on the vise jaws for shipping and storage purposes. Also, this vise is equipped with a beautiful degree marker shown as shiny white in the picture. Again, most people use the common 4 inch vise. This is a nice vise when putting corners together that have corners which are not always 90 degrees - as some specialty pictures have. But of course works great for joining regular cut 90 degree corners as well. Might add that it is also a great toy to play with.....

Professional 7 inch Picture Frame Vise

Super large 7 inch professional picture frame vise will clamp any picture frame mouldings up to 6 1/2 inches wide. This vise is very large and quite heavy. It is the biggest picture frame vise made.

Most people and many Pro's start with and use a 4 inch picture frame vise as listed above. This vise is intended for those putting very large picture frame mouldings together.

This is the strongest professional wood glue we have ever used!

You asked for a stronger wood glue it so here it is. Specialty formulated, we've blended together a pure white, clear drying wood glue that is the absolute strongest wood glue we have ever, ever, found. It blows all the other common wood glues we have tried away including our original glue. If this glue don't hold your wood corners together for you, nothing else will. When you get disgusted with all the rest, try this...It's the best! We HIGHLY recommend this wood glue to home picture framers because using it you just won't have problems with picture frame moulding corners coming loose when driving in v-nails.

This stuff is super strong. We've tried every glue on the market and none has yet been found to be anywhere near as strong as this glue. This glue is thick and creamy going on. Our glue is not the same as other wood glues, it is 10 times stronger than common wood glues. It is a bummer to get a picture frame all glued together, then pound a nail into it and have the frame corner come unglued. You will have trouble using the common wood glues found in hardware stores such as Elmers Glue and Titebond. Try our glue, it is an amazing difference. This glue sets up fast. Corners can be repositioned in 15 minutes to do the next corner. In two hours glue has reached 75% strength and frames can easily be nailed together by hand.

You don't have to coat both sides of the frame corner and you don't have to coat all of one side, just run a bead of glue on one corner. When pressed together if you have quite a bit of glue coming out the seam, you are using too much. This glue is super strong and you don't have to go over board on using it. This glue is at least 10 times stronger than Elmers Glue, or Titebond Glue for example. In fact both those glues aren't very good at all in glueing frame corners together as they aren't strong enough to hold the corners together when driving in v nails and the frames just snap apart. We encourage you to use our glue, not to sell you anything, but to make your job and life easier. As to how many frames each bottle does, our figures are based on a 1 inch wide moulding. Larger mouldings take more glue.

Professional Picture Frame Touch Up Markers

The Professional Picture Frame Touch Up Markers below are used to touch up scrapes and bruises on picture frames. They are also used to darken the edges of the picture frame corners before gluing the picture frame corners together. This gives a really professional looking corner.

We use these picture frame markers on the corners of every picture frame that we put together in our shop. You don't paint the whole corner with the markers, all you do is paint the very top edge of the picture frame molding where it comes together. It makes a world of difference in the look of your picture frames. These markers will last the average home picture framer a very long time.

These picture frame markers are very strongly recommended by us to make your corners look professional. They are made special for picture framers to match the woods most commonly used and to blend in with out painting over. Example, regular markers such as you find in stores won't work. Store markers contain paint which paints over the picture frames, you would ruin a picture frame using regular store markers. These special picture frame markers contain real wood stains.

In using these professional picture frame touch up markers to put a new picture frame together all you need to do is mark just the top edge of the frame corners. This way, after your picture frames are joined, the corner seam almost disappears. Using them makes a big difference in the looks of your finished picture frames. See them in use in our learning center - How To Make Picture Frames.

Do not confuse these markers with "Magic Markers".
These are all together different with different ink formulations.
