can do same thing with handscrew

FWW 0191 June 2007 pdfp49 Making Sense of Vises
discusses pros and cons of different types of front vises and end vises
this thread on Why Miters Open Up shows the Gros Stabil GSP 12 clamps that are no longer made
they have been in my Amazon "Save For Later" folder for quite some time and I'm sick of seeing it
I've tried finding them elsewhere but haven't been able to
the post has this image as well
other suggestions:
spring clamps
post #5 which uses a set of blocks similar to those now sold by bessey combined with homemade corners - THIS SEEMS PRETTY LEGIT
the dead link in post 9 that points to this [full post from archive.org locally here]
post 12 likes the corner blocks with threaded rod that I have
post #15 says get a picture framer's vise, which is functionally similar to the green cast iron one I got at Woodcraft [link may be different size than mine, etc.]
corner blocks and a band clamp mentioned in post 17 is here at archive.org - a link to an old shopnotes tip on how to build a jig to cut them
good video on making miter clamping blocks from the Wood Whisperer
and a similar one from John Heisz
this PWW video shows 2 clamps across so toe and heel can be tightened - not sure if that is a good idea or not
I think this frame assembly jig from Woodsmith would work well - entire post .png local

2025-02 I found this 2007 post that shows the Gross Stabil MCX, which now appears to be the Bessey MCX Amazon
which handles 22.5, 30, 45, 60
It also shows the Gross Stabil GSP
These appear to be the GSP 12 Set or GSP12 or GSP8
It appears these are no longer available since 2005 when Bessey bought Gross Stabil
This Miter Clamp MaxiFix looks like it might be useful if holes on the back are ok
