The total length is about1-1/4"(32mm), the diameter of the small circle is about 3/5"(15mm), approx 1/12" thick, and the diameter of the middle screw mounting hole is about 11/50"(5.5mm).
  • Wide Range of Applications: Figure 8 fasteners are a quick, safe way to attach tabletops to table skirts and reduce wood splitting. This product is used for fixing various kinds of wood, such as the extension of wooden table tops, the fixing of table legs, the reinforcement and restoration of cabinets and drawers, etc.
  • Sufficient Quantity: This link contains a total of 20 Figure 8 clips as a gift. The thoughtful combination will fully meet your daily needs.
  • Superior Quality: Thickened cast iron material, sturdy and durable. The upgraded coloring process is not easy to rust. Fine workmanship, smooth surface does not hurt hands.

Product Description

As a tabletop expands and contracts, this connector rotates within a round mortise in the edges of the apron end parts to keep the top from buckling.

Figure 8 connectors vary in size and shape, with some having equal-size loops and some with the apron-side loop larger than the tabletop loop.

Advantages: Figure 8 connectors require no apron grooves and are slightly less conspicuous than the Z-shape clips.

How to use them

How to use them

step 1

Step 1

Chuck into your drill press a Forstner bit just slightly larger than the figure-eight connector. Every 12"–18", on the edges of the apron end pieces, drill mortises a hair deeper than the connector thickness.

step 2

Step 2

Using the spur hole from the Forstner bit as a guide, drill a mounting screw pilot hole. Then trim off the mortise edges with a chisel, as shown.

Step 3

Step 3

To allow the connector to rotate back and forth about one-eighth of a turn.

Screw the figure 8 connector to the apron just loosely enough to allow it to rotate.

Step 4

Step 4

Check that the connector sits flush with or a little lower than the apron edge. Repeat these steps to mount the remaining connectors. Do not mount them on the side pieces of the apron.

With the tabletop upside down on your workbench, center the apron/leg assembly on the underside of the tabletop, and mark the mounting screw locations. Drill pilot holes into the tabletop using a depth stop and insert the mounting screws.

Exactly as described. My only real issue is they came with half the amount of screws needed.

I built a custom hardwood coffee table for a client and these were perfect to attach the top. They arrived quickly and in perfect condition.

These table top fasteners are a game-changer! They're super strong and hold my tables together securely, no more wobbly setups. They're easy to install and the black color blends in nicely. I used them to connect a few smaller tables together for a large work surface and they've been rock solid. Highly recommend!

Great quality. Used them to hang some honey comb shelves on a wall for a customer. Worked wonderfully!

The fasteners are a nice size and very sturdy. I didn't give 5 stars because I didn't get enough screws to install all of the fasteners.

Una manera muy elegante de sujetar la parte superior de las mesas; permite el movimiento de la madera. Lamentablemente solo trae 20 tornillos (hacen falta 20 para un cubrimiento completo). La buena noticia es que los tornillos son fácil de conseguir

Very nice product. Machined smooth overall. Supplied screws fit flush in countersunk holes. As others have stated only half the number of screws needed are supplied. I had screws on hand and used them where they weren't seen. Misleading description of contents.

The figure 8s are good, no complaints there. You will need a 20mm forstner bit to recess them into the base. The screws are too short for me to trust them, less than 1/2 inch. My table and base is fairly heavy, so I bought longer screws. You will need #6 flathead screws if you go this route. Overall I’m happy with them, and would buy them again

I purchased these to attach an old school desktop. They worked great, easy to apply, and are very sturdy. The kit comes with the correct size wood screws for easy application.
