ABSTRACT:
A platform for indexing and clamping metal studs and like building structural members together for manufacturing metal framed walls or trusses of buildings. The platform includes spaced members for supporting studs, plates and the like placed there upon, and is sufficiently open between the spaced and properly placed members to allow applying screws to both sides of the structural members for connection of joints. The platform may be manually loaded with the appropriate framing structural members with the platform in a horizontal position with the indexing stops upward. The indexing stops are used to position studs, and powered clamps are provided to secure the studs in place against the stops. Screws may be applied to a first side of the framing, followed by the platform being rotated 180 degrees under motor or like power to expose the second side of the framing to allow the application of holding screws thereto. The indexing clamps and the movable raised plate hold the framing in place while the platform is rotated or inverted.
