A method and apparatus for fusion splicing optical fibres, in which the first clamping arrangement comprising arms 3 and 4 and clamps 3a, 4a pivots over from a first position to a second position in which magnetic fibre clamps 14a, 14b hold the fibre ends in a two-part fibre V-location 8a, 8b to precisely coaxially align the fibre ends. Fusion electrodes 11, 12 fuse the ends together.
