Bar Clamp EPM E-400-0106 300×80 mm woodworking clamp, metal bar, adjustable screw

EPM E-400-0106 300×80 mm woodworking bar clamp is designed to hold workpieces securely during gluing, assembly and general carpentry operations. The tool combines a rigid metal bar with an adjustable screw mechanism to deliver controlled clamping pressure and a stable hold over a range of board thicknesses. Its compact 300 mm reach and 80 mm throat depth make it suitable for small to medium joinery and cabinetmaking tasks where accurate alignment and firm contact are required.

Advantages

The metal bar construction provides durability and straightness under repeated use, while the adjustable screw allows gradual, precise tightening to avoid damaging delicate surfaces. The clamp offers consistent pressure distribution and reliable grip, reducing slippage during glue setting or assembly. Its compact dimensions make it easy to position in confined work areas and convenient to store alongside other hand tools.

Suitable for

• Gluing furniture components and panels
• Assembly of frames and cabinet parts
• Edge joining and small panel alignment
• Hobby woodworking and light professional carpentry
• Repair and maintenance tasks requiring temporary hold

Key specifications

• Bar material: metal for rigidity and durability
• Clamping reach: 300 mm
• Throat depth: 80 mm
• Adjustment: screw mechanism for controlled pressure
• Contact surfaces: flat clamping faces suitable for direct contact with wood (use pads to protect delicate finishes)

How to use

Position the clamp so the bar and fixed jaw align with the workpiece. Slide the movable jaw along the bar until it contacts the piece, then turn the screw handle to apply pressure until the workpieces are firmly held and properly aligned. Check alignment and adjust pressure gradually to avoid overtightening. When gluing, allow recommended curing time before removing the clamp. For repeated operations, keep the screw threads clean and lightly lubricated for smooth adjustment.

Usage recommendations

To protect visible surfaces, place soft pads between the clamp jaws and the workpiece. Use several clamps spaced evenly for longer joints to ensure even pressure distribution. Inspect the clamp periodically for wear or damage to the screw and bar; replace if deformation or excessive play is detected.
