I am new to building furniture and would like to know when parallel clamps are desirable or needed vs using pipe clamps. I currently have 4 of the bessey 50 inch parallel and six of the newer style pipe clamps (with the feet). I know the 50's will be too large for most task. So I am wondering if I could get away with the pipe clamps for now.
I guess I am mostly wondering what the real advantage of the parallel clamps are and when do they really shine.
