I was doing some routing on the entire length of an 8' x 2" x 3/4" bunch of boards today.   It was not very convenient to move the clamps twice for each of the six boards so I had to invent a new tool.   I'm working on  my assembly table so no dogs, no holdfasts,  nothing but F-clamps that I can fit on the last couple of inches.   I came up with the "butt clamp."    I sat on the boards near the middle and ran the router off and on both edges of each end.   I tell you, I need to patent this.

Some people will have more clamping power via this method than others....

Yes. just don't confuse "force" with "pressure"  (irritation of a former physics major)

 

As Yoda said, let the pressure be with you.

let most of the pressure be with you!

I put tracking in one of my benches for clamps...
