Bessey Tools TG4.540 4.5 x 40 Inch 1000 lb Woodworking F-style Malleable Cast Bar Clamp with Wooden Handle

The BESSEY 40 in. TG Series was invented and patented by BESSEY in 1936 and, has been continuously updated and improved ever since. It has been a recognized standard wood shop tool for decades because of its durability and builds quality. Each BESSEY TG clamp comes standard with an anti-slip system. This includes a set screw that is molded into the sliding arm and interlocks with the serrations on the rail to prevent the clamp from slipping. The corrugated malleable cast iron fixed jaw and sliding arm generate powerful, rigid clamping force. Top jaws are fitted to the rail with no mechanical fasteners to loosen up over time while the powder coating protects against corrosion. The high quality steel rail comes from BESSEY's own German steel drawing plant. The steel bar stock's profile acts as a reliable reinforcement against torsional forces, while the serration on six faces additionally prevents the clamp from slipping. Smooth running spindle with Acme thread provides more clamping with less effort. Finally the pressure pads can be easily changed without tools.
