Carpenter's Bar Clamp EPM E-400-0116 1200 x 120 mm

The EPM Carpenter's Bar Clamp E-400-0116 1200 x 120 mm is a heavy-duty woodworking clamp designed for secure holding of boards, panels and assemblies. With a 1200 mm bar length and a 120 mm throat depth, this clamp provides stable pressure across larger workpieces to support gluing, alignment and cutting operations. The tool is intended for workshop and on-site use, offering a straightforward mechanical clamping action suitable for joinery, cabinetmaking and furniture repair tasks.

Advantages

This bar clamp delivers consistent clamping force along a long bar, enabling even pressure distribution for laminating and edge-joining. Its 120 mm throat depth allows access to workpieces that require deeper reach from the edge, and the robust construction reduces flex under load. The simple sliding jaw and screw mechanism permit quick adjustment and secure tightening, while the length makes it possible to clamp multiple components or wide panels without loss of stability.

Suitable for

• Gluing and laminating wooden boards
• Edge-joining panels and furniture parts
• Assembly and alignment of cabinets and frames
• On-site woodworking and repair work
• Holding workpieces for cutting, routing or sanding

Key specifications

• Bar length: 1200 mm
• Throat depth: 120 mm
• Clamping type: fixed bar with sliding jaw and screw mechanism
• Application: woodworking, joinery, cabinetmaking
• Typical materials clamped: solid wood, plywood, MDF, particleboard

How to use

Position the fixed jaw against one side of the workpiece and slide the movable jaw along the bar until it contacts the opposite side. Use the screw mechanism to apply the required clamping pressure, checking that the workpiece remains square and aligned. For gluing operations, apply even pressure across the joint and avoid over-tightening to prevent squeeze-out or damage to the edges. For longer or wider assemblies, use multiple clamps spaced evenly to maintain uniform pressure.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the clamp before use to ensure the bar and jaws are free of deformation and debris. When clamping finished surfaces, protect them with pads or scrap wood to avoid marking. Store the clamp in a dry place to prevent corrosion and lubricate the screw mechanism periodically for smooth operation.
