Clamp Bessey GSH50, width 300 mm, depth 200 mm, height 300 mm, multicolour

Bessey GSH50 is a bench/work clamp with a 300 mm width, 200 mm depth and 300 mm height designed to hold and secure workpieces during assembly, gluing or light sanding. Its construction provides stable clamping and repeatable positioning for small to medium workshop tasks. The multicolour finish identifies functional parts and contributes to easy orientation when fitting and adjusting the clamp on benches or jigs.

Advantages

The clamp design offers a compact footprint with a 300 mm clamping width and 200 mm throat depth that allow access to a variety of workpiece sizes while keeping the tool stable on the bench. A 300 mm height gives clearance for taller assemblies and fixtures. The multicolour finish improves visibility of moving parts and contact areas, making setup faster and reducing the chance of incorrect assembly. Materials and build quality are intended for repeated light- to medium-duty use in woodworking and general workshop work.

Suitable for

• Holding workpieces during assembly and glue-up
• Light sanding, routing or filing operations
• Securing components for marking, drilling or measuring
• General woodworking tasks and hobby workshop projects

Key specifications

• Clamping width: 300 mm
• Throat depth: 200 mm
• Overall height/clearance: 300 mm
• Intended use: bench/work clamp for holding and securing workpieces
• Finish: multicolour

How to use

Position the clamp on a stable bench or fixture so the throat depth accommodates the workpiece. Open the jaws to the required width, place the workpiece between the clamping surfaces and advance the movable jaw until it contacts the workpiece. Apply clamping force evenly until the piece is held securely without deformation. For glue-ups, ensure even pressure across the joint; for machining or sanding, confirm that the workpiece is supported and will not shift during the operation. After use, release pressure gradually and store the clamp in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate padding or sacrificial blocks when clamping finished surfaces to prevent marring. Avoid exceeding the clamp's intended duty by applying excessive torque; for heavy-duty industrial applications choose a clamp rated for higher loads. Regularly inspect contact surfaces and moving parts for wear and keep them clean to ensure consistent clamping performance.
