Clamping Bar F 400x100 mm Dedra 12A186 — woodworking clamp with 400×100 mm throat and two-material handle

Dedra clamping bar F 400x100 mm is a manual woodworking clamp designed to hold components securely during gluing, assembly and general carpentry operations. The tool offers a 400 × 100 mm throat depth to accommodate a variety of board and panel thicknesses, while the two-material handle provides improved grip and control during tightening and release. Built for use in hobby and professional environments, this clamp helps maintain stable, even pressure across workpieces to support accurate joints and consistent adhesive curing.

Advantages

The clamp combines a substantial throat depth with a compact bar design, enabling it to reach into deeper assemblies without occupying excessive bench space. The two-material handle reduces hand fatigue and improves torque transfer for reliable clamping force. Its straightforward manual mechanism allows quick adjustments and steady pressure distribution along the clamped surface. The construction is intended for repeated use in workshop and DIY conditions.

Suitable for

• Wood glue-ups for boards, panels and frames
• Assembly of furniture components and joints
• Holding workpieces during sawing, sanding or routing
• Small-scale carpentry and hobby woodworking projects

Key specifications

• Throat depth: 400 mm
• Maximum clamping capacity (jaw opening): 100 mm
• Handle: two-material ergonomic design for improved grip
• Operation: manual tightening and release
• Intended use: woodworking, carpentry and DIY applications

How to use

Position the clamp so that the fixed jaw rests against one side of the workpiece and the movable jaw aligns with the opposite side. Slide the movable jaw along the bar to approximate the required opening, then operate the handle to tighten until the desired pressure is achieved. Check alignment of the parts before fully securing the clamp. To release, loosen the handle and slide the movable jaw away from the workpiece. Use multiple clamps spaced evenly along long joints to ensure uniform pressure.

Usage recommendations

For effective clamping, clean mating surfaces of dust and excess adhesive before applying pressure. When gluing large panels, alternate clamp positions and use cauls if necessary to prevent localized crushing or distortion. Store the clamp in a dry environment and inspect moving parts periodically for burrs or wear to maintain consistent performance.
