Patent ID: 7950636

Claim:
A miter joint clamp comprising: a base having a planar top side; and a sled mounted on the base for linear movement with respect to the base relative to a miter joint plane perpendicular to the top side of the base, wherein the sled comprises: a first sled fence that has a planar first sled surface extending perpendicular to the top side of the base and aligned at a 135° angle relative to a first side of the joint plane, with the first sled surface being resiliently compressible relative to the sled in a direction perpendicular to the first sled surface; and a second sled fence that has a planar second sled surface extending perpendicular to the top side of the base and aligned at a 135° angle relative to a second side of the joint plane, with the second sled surface being resiliently compressible relative to the sled in a direction perpendicular to the second sled surface, and wherein the base comprises: a first base fence that has a planar first base surface extending perpendicular to the top side of the base and aligned generally parallel to the first sled surface; and a second base fence that has a planar second base surface extending perpendicular to the top side of the base and aligned generally parallel to the second sled surface and wherein the first base fence is pivotally mounted relative to the base on a first pivot axis extending parallel to the miter joint plane and further comprising: a first cam actuator operable to pivot the first base fence about the first pivot axis, whereby the parallel alignment of the first base surface relative to the first sled surface is adjustable to within +/−2°.
