Abstract
A slide wedge clamp for clamping workpieces to a mounting face such as the work table of a machine tool. A work-engaging member is secured to the mounting face by a fixing bolt set perpendicular thereto. By screwing up a clamping bolt set downward through a clamping block with its rearward and downward facing driven wedge face in contact with its forward and upward facing driving counterpart wedge face on the work-engaging member, the clamping block is driven forward and downward for clamping. By providing a raised workpiece-carrying portion on the forward end side of the clamping block, it is possible to clamp workpieces in a raised state.
