Bar Clamp Bessey GZ60 600x120 mm, Bessey screw clamp for woodworking and assembly

Bessey GZ60 600x120 mm is a screw bar clamp designed for woodworking, assembly and general joining tasks. With a 600 mm steel bar and a 120 mm throat depth, the clamp lets users position the fixed and sliding jaws to secure workpieces for glue-ups, machining or temporary fixtures. The threaded spindle gives controlled, adjustable clamping pressure suitable for woodworkers, carpenters and DIY enthusiasts who need steady, repeatable holding during glue curing, sanding or light assembly operations.

Advantages

The screw mechanism provides precise pressure control and fine adjustment, reducing the risk of over-clamping delicate parts. Hardened contact surfaces and a robust bar construction ensure stable alignment and resistance to bending during typical workshop use. The sliding jaw locks securely on the bar for fast setup, while ergonomic handle design facilitates comfortable tightening and release. Overall, this clamp combines simplicity, repeatability and dependable holding force for a range of joinery and assembly tasks.

Suitable for

• Panel glue-ups and edge joining
• Temporary fixturing during sanding, routing or drilling
• Clamping parts for assembly and light woodworking
• DIY projects and small workshop tasks

Key specifications

• Bar length: 600 mm
• Throat depth: 120 mm
• Clamp type: screw bar clamp
• Adjustable threaded spindle for variable clamping pressure
• Sliding jaw with locking position on the bar
• Materials: steel bar and metal jaws (hardened contact surfaces)

How to use

Place the workpieces between the fixed and sliding jaws, adjust the sliding jaw along the 600 mm bar to the approximate position, then engage the threaded spindle to apply clamping pressure. Tighten the ergonomic handle until the parts are held firmly without distortion; for glue-ups, apply consistent moderate pressure and avoid over-tightening to prevent squeeze-out or damage. Release by turning the spindle counterclockwise and, if necessary, unlock the sliding jaw to remove the assembly.

Usage recommendations

For best results in woodworking glue-ups, protect finished surfaces with cauls or scrap wood between the clamp jaws and the workpiece. Use multiple clamps spaced evenly along long joints to maintain uniform pressure. Regularly inspect the bar and jaw contact surfaces for wear and remove debris to ensure accurate clamping alignment.
