Bessey corner edge clamp KANTENFIX 80 mm — woodworking clamp for edge joining

Bessey KANTENFIX 80 mm corner edge clamp is a compact woodworking clamp engineered for accurate edge joining and holding panels at right angles. It provides stable clamping pressure for gluing, dowelling and fitting operations, enabling precise alignment of boards and panels during furniture assembly and repair. The tool is designed to grip edges securely while leaving work surfaces accessible for adhesive application and finishing.

Advantages

The clamp offers a compact footprint and purpose-built geometry that simplifies clamping of corners and edges. Its construction ensures consistent pressure distribution across the joint and reliable positioning without the need for auxiliary supports. The design facilitates one-handed setup and rapid repetition for series work, while maintaining access to the glued seam for cleanup and inspection.

Suitable for

• Joining edges of panels and boards at right angles
• Gluing and dowelling of furniture components
• Edge banding and trimming operations
• Holding small frames and cases during assembly
• Repair and DIY woodworking tasks requiring precise alignment

Key specifications

• Clamping reach: 80 mm suitable for standard panel edges and thin boards
• Application type: corner and edge clamping for right-angle joints
• Material contact design: shaped jaws to secure edges without damaging surfaces
• Operation: manual mechanical clamp for controlled, steady pressure
• Size and portability: compact, lightweight for workshop and on-site use

How to use

Position the boards or panels to form the intended right-angle joint and place the KANTENFIX clamp over the corner so that the shaped jaws engage both workpiece edges. Adjust the clamp to bring the panels into alignment and apply steady pressure until the adhesive cures or fasteners are set. For repetitive tasks, set the clamp once and move prepared assemblies into place to speed up workflow. Inspect the joint line and remove any excess glue promptly to ensure a clean finish.

Usage recommendations

Use with appropriate wood glue and allow full curing time before removing or stressing the joint. Protect delicate surfaces with thin protective strips if necessary to prevent marking. For best results on thicker or irregular profiles, combine with additional support clamps or cauls to maintain uniform pressure.
