EPM woodworking clamp 500x120 mm model E-400-0113, fixed bar clamp for assembly and gluing

The EPM woodworking clamp 500x120 mm model E-400-0113 is a fixed bar clamp designed to hold workpieces securely during assembly, gluing and light carpentry tasks. With a 500 mm bar reach and a 120 mm maximum jaw opening, the clamp maintains alignment of boards, panels and frames while adhesives set or fasteners are installed. Its simple, robust construction provides steady clamping pressure for common joinery operations and small workshop projects.

Advantages

This fixed bar clamp offers a long reach combined with a relatively wide jaw capacity, allowing you to clamp larger panels and assemblies without frequent repositioning. The design focuses on stable pressure distribution and repeatable positioning, which helps minimize movement during glue curing. The clamp is suitable for both hobbyist and light professional use, providing a reliable holding solution for standard woodworking tasks.

Suitable for

• Holding boards and panels during glue-up
• Securing frames and small assemblies for fastening
• Positioning parts for routing, sanding or drilling
• General light carpentry and joinery tasks

Key specifications

• Bar reach: 500 mm
• Maximum jaw opening: 120 mm
• Clamp type: fixed bar clamp
• Typical use: assembly and gluing of wooden workpieces
• Applicable materials: wood panels, boards, composite panels

How to use

Position the clamp so the jaws contact the workpiece surfaces that require pressure. Slide the movable jaw along the bar to approximate the desired span, then engage the tightening mechanism until the required holding force is achieved. Ensure the workpieces are aligned before applying full pressure and avoid overtightening to prevent crushing or deforming the material. For glue-ups, check alignment once more after initial clamping and allow adhesives to cure according to manufacturer recommendations before removing the clamp.

Usage recommendations

Use protective pads or scrap wood between the jaws and finished surfaces to prevent marking. For long glue-ups, use multiple clamps spaced evenly to distribute pressure across the joint. Inspect the clamp regularly for wear or damage to ensure consistent clamping performance and replace if any components are bent or worn.
