I made a kettle clamp from a sheet of brass (0.032" thick) using tin snips, a drill press and a Dremel tool. Thumb screws and knurled knobs are
used to hold it together. I made the one on the right first, but didn't finish it yet.

I suggest to use two metal rings in addition to the clamps for to avoid the risk of breaking out of the glass.
Nice reactors. Thats about exactly what I am after. To sad its US-Ebay though......
edit: I just now recognize that there is one ring - why dont use two rings and spring supported screws? This would keep constant pressure over a wide
temperature range on the seal without risking to break the glass. I have seen this otherwise and found the principle quite convincing.
Ever considered to shave your hands?

The brass is resilient already so using springs wouldn't help much. Two rings might be better. It takes a while to make them. I have get
another piece of brass, too.vulture - 21-6-2004 at 12:56

Organikum, aren't these just Schott "Planschliff" reactors?
They should be commercialy available to the public (as anything of schott is), so I guess there should be some second hand floating around.
