Bar clamp Art-Pol model 24016, clamping capacity 80 mm, bar length 600 mm

Art-Pol bar clamp model 24016 is a manual woodworking clamp with a 600 mm steel bar and an 80 mm clamping capacity. It is designed to hold, align and secure workpieces during gluing, assembly and cutting operations. The clamp features a fixed head and an adjustable sliding jaw that locks into position along the bar to deliver stable pressure and repeatable positioning for common workshop tasks.

Advantages

The clamp’s steel bar construction provides rigidity and straightness for consistent alignment across the span of the tool. The fixed head and sliding jaw design allow quick adjustment and secure locking of workpieces without complex setup. With an 80 mm maximum opening, it accommodates a range of boards and components used in carpentry, cabinetry and hobby projects. The simple manual operation requires no power source and offers tactile control of clamping force for delicate or heavy-duty tasks.

Suitable for

• Gluing wooden panels and edge joints
• Holding parts during assembly of furniture or fixtures
• Securing stock for cutting, routing or sanding
• Clamping small- to medium-sized workpieces in workshops and hobby areas

Key specifications

• Bar length: 600 mm
• Maximum clamping capacity (opening): 80 mm
• Bar material: steel
• Head type: fixed head with adjustable sliding jaw
• Operation: manual

How to use

Position the fixed head against one side of the workpiece and slide the adjustable jaw along the steel bar until it contacts the opposite side. Tighten the jaw to apply the desired clamping pressure and ensure the workpieces are aligned. For gluing, maintain consistent pressure across the joint until the adhesive is set. Release the clamp by loosening the adjustable jaw and sliding it away from the workpiece. Regularly inspect the bar and jaw surfaces for debris and ensure smooth sliding before use.

Usage recommendations

When clamping delicate materials, place thin protective pads between the clamp faces and the workpiece to prevent surface damage. Use multiple clamps spaced evenly along long joints to distribute pressure uniformly. Store the clamp in a dry place and wipe the steel bar to prevent corrosion; lubricate the sliding mechanism periodically to maintain smooth adjustment.
