Clamping bar (workshop clamp) Dedra 310 x 72 mm 12A024

The Dedra clamping bar 310 x 72 mm is a bar-style workshop clamp designed to hold workpieces securely during woodworking, assembly and gluing operations. With a fixed bar length of 310 mm and a throat depth of 72 mm, this clamp allows even pressure distribution across boards, panels and joints. The tool is intended for manual clamping tasks where stable, repeatable restraint is required to keep parts aligned while adhesives set or fasteners are installed.

Advantages

This workshop clamp delivers consistent clamping force across the working surface thanks to its bar design and sliding jaw mechanism. The throat depth provides access to mid-width panels and common board sizes, while the 310 mm span covers short to medium-length assemblies. The clamp is compact and straightforward to operate, allowing one-handed adjustments in many applications. Materials and build focus on durability for repeated use in a workshop or hobby environment.

Suitable for

• Clamping boards and panels for gluing and drying
• Holding workpieces during assembly and fastening
• Light carpentry, furniture repair and hobby woodworking
• Temporary positioning of parts for marking and drilling

Key specifications

• Bar length: 310 mm
• Throat depth: 72 mm
• Bar-style clamp with sliding jaw
• Designed for manual, workshop use

How to use

Place the fixed jaw against one face of the workpiece and slide the moving jaw along the bar until it contacts the opposite face. Apply pressure using the clamp's handle or screw mechanism (depending on the clamp design) until the desired hold and alignment are achieved. Check that the clamped surfaces are square and correctly positioned before applying adhesives or fasteners. Release by loosening the moving jaw and sliding it away from the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

For even pressure and to protect finished surfaces, use soft pads between the clamp jaws and the workpiece. When gluing, allow sufficient clamp pressure time as recommended for the adhesive in use and avoid over-tightening which can squeeze out too much glue or deform thin materials.
