Bar Clamp Dedra F 300x80 mm with two-material handle, model 12A180

Bar clamp Dedra F 300x80 mm with two-material handle, model 12A180, is a woodworking clamping tool designed to hold and stabilize workpieces during gluing, assembly and cutting operations. The clamp provides a 300 mm throat depth and an 80 mm maximum opening, combining reach and capacity for medium-sized panels and components. A two-material handle delivers improved grip and control when applying clamping force, while the steel bar and hardened contact faces ensure consistent pressure distribution across the workpiece.

Advantages

The clamp balances reach and capacity with a 300 mm throat depth and an 80 mm clamping range, making it appropriate for typical carpentry and furniture tasks. The two-material handle reduces hand fatigue and increases control during tightening. Durable steel construction and hardened contact surfaces resist wear and maintain clamping accuracy over repeated use. The simple sliding mechanism allows quick positioning and secure locking of the jaw.

Suitable for

• Gluing wooden boards and panels
• Assembly of furniture components and frames
• Holding workpieces for sawing, planing or routing
• General workshop tasks requiring temporary secure clamping

Key specifications

• Throat depth: 300 mm
• Maximum clamping capacity: 80 mm
• Handle: two-material grip for improved ergonomics
• Bar material: steel
• Contact faces: hardened for wear resistance
• Mechanism: sliding jaw with positive lock

How to use

Position the clamp so the fixed jaw rests against one side of the workpiece and slide the movable jaw until it contacts the opposite side. Turn the two-material handle clockwise to apply clamping force until the workpiece is held securely; avoid excessive torque that could damage the material. To release, turn the handle counterclockwise and use the sliding release or quick-release lever if present to retract the movable jaw. For glue-ups, apply even pressure and check alignment before the adhesive sets.

Usage recommendations

Use protective pads between the contact faces and delicate surfaces to prevent marring. When clamping long or flexible panels, use multiple clamps spaced evenly to distribute pressure. Inspect the bar and jaws periodically for wear or deformation and clean any debris from the sliding mechanism to ensure smooth operation.
