Bessey parallel screw clamp, size 5, 116 mm, brand Bessey

Bessey Scisk srubowy rownolegly, wielkosc 5, 116mm BESSEY is a parallel screw clamp designed for precise holding in woodworking, metalworking and assembly tasks. The clamp features a 116 mm throat capacity and a parallel jaw design that ensures even pressure distribution across the clamped surfaces. It is built for repeatable, stable positioning when gluing, fastening or aligning components.

Advantages

The parallel screw mechanism provides consistent clamping pressure and minimal twisting of workpieces. A reinforced handle and screw drive deliver smooth operation and reliable force transmission. The compact 116 mm size offers good access in tight spaces while maintaining a wide contact area to protect workpiece surfaces. The clamp is made to withstand frequent use and to maintain alignment between jaws during repeated cycles.

Suitable for

• Holding small to medium workpieces during gluing
• Alignment and assembly of wooden or metal parts
• Light to medium duty clamping in workshop and hobby projects
• Temporary fastening for sanding, routing or drilling operations

Key specifications

• Clamping type: parallel screw clamp
• Jaw width: size 5 (116 mm throat depth)
• Jaw faces: broad contact area for even pressure distribution
• Operation: manual screw drive with reinforced handle
• Construction: durable metal components designed for repeated use

How to use

Place the clamp so that the workpiece sits squarely between the parallel jaws, adjust the movable jaw to the approximate position, then tighten the screw handle until the desired clamping pressure is reached. Ensure even contact across the jaw faces to avoid concentrated pressure points. Release the clamp by turning the handle counterclockwise and reposition as needed for subsequent operations.

Usage recommendations

Use protective pads or scrap material between the clamp jaws and delicate surfaces to prevent marking. Inspect the screw and sliding surfaces periodically and keep them clean and lightly lubricated for smooth operation. Do not exceed the clamp’s intended duty for heavy structural pressing; use larger or specialized clamps for high-force applications.
