F-clamp Art-Pol 24115 by Art-Pol, 80 mm throat, 500 mm capacity

The F-clamp Art-Pol 24115 by Art-Pol, 80 mm throat, 500 mm capacity is a fixed-bar clamp designed to secure workpieces during woodworking, metalworking and assembly operations. With an 80 mm throat depth and a 500 mm maximum clamping capacity, this tool provides stable, even pressure for gluing, fastening and holding parts in position while adjustments or machining are performed. The clamp’s simple construction makes it suitable for both workshop professionals and home DIY users who need reliable holding force and straightforward operation.

Advantages

The clamp offers a combination of deep throat access and long jaw travel that allows it to reach recessed areas and span larger workpieces. Its fixed-bar design ensures consistent alignment between the jaws and reduces play under load. Materials and build provide durable performance for repeated use, while the screw mechanism enables precise pressure control to avoid over-tightening sensitive components. The compact profile and robust handle deliver comfortable handling and efficient force transfer during clamping.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Gluing and edge-joining of timber and panel materials
• Holding metal parts during light welding, drilling or filing
• Assembly and fitting of furniture components
• Temporary positioning of components for fastening or alignment checks
• Workshop and DIY projects requiring steady clamping over a 500 mm span

Key specifications

• Throat depth: 80 mm
• Maximum clamping capacity (jaw opening): 500 mm
• Fixed-bar F-clamp design for stable alignment
• Screw-driven tightening mechanism for adjustable pressure
• Durable construction suitable for repeated workshop use

How to use

Position the fixed jaw of the F-clamp against one side of the workpiece and slide the movable jaw along the bar until it contacts the opposite side. Turn the screw handle clockwise to increase clamping pressure until the parts are held securely; monitor pressure to prevent damage to delicate materials. To release, turn the screw handle counterclockwise and slide the movable jaw away from the workpiece. For larger assemblies, use multiple clamps spaced evenly to distribute pressure and maintain alignment during gluing or fastening.

Usage recommendations

Use protective pads between the clamp jaws and finished surfaces to prevent marring. Inspect the bar and screw for wear before use and keep threads clean and lightly lubricated to ensure smooth operation. When applying high clamping forces, use several clamps or a clamp with a wider contact area to spread pressure evenly and avoid localized distortion.
