Abstract
The basic functions of clamps are fourfold. They are as follows: (a) the workpiece must be held firmly even when the tools/cutters are in operation; (b) the clamping device should be quick acting as the loading and unloading time should be as quick as possible; (c) when subjected to excessive vibration or chatter, the clamps should be firm and should not loosen up; (d) the clamp should not damage the workpiece.
