Workbench full-surface clamp Erdi UK 300×80 BY UK30 — full-face woodworking clamp

The Erdi full-surface clamp UK 300×80 BY UK30 is a bench-mounted woodworking clamp designed to apply uniform pressure across a wide contact area. With a 300×80 mm clamping face, this full-face clamp is made for applications where even distribution of force and secure support are essential, such as gluing panels, edge-joining boards and holding assemblies during finishing operations. It integrates into common workshop fixtures and workflows for carpentry and joinery.

Advantages

The clamp provides full-surface contact to minimise local deformation and prevent glue squeeze-out or marking on softer workpiece materials. Its broad clamping face ensures consistent pressure across the entire joint area, improving bond quality for glued panels and multi-piece assemblies. The clamp is suitable for bench mounting and can be used with typical workshop fixtures, delivering steady holding power and repeatable positioning for production or repair tasks.

Suitable for

• Panel glue-ups and laminating wide boards
• Edge-joining furniture parts and table tops
• Holding workpieces during routing, sanding and finishing
• Assembly and alignment of multi-piece joinery
• Bench-mounted fixtures in carpentry and joinery workshops

Key specifications

• Clamping face dimensions: 300 × 80 mm
• Clamping type: full-surface / full-face woodworking clamp
• Mounting: bench-mounted use
• Contact surface: broad flat plate for uniform pressure distribution
• Typical applications: gluing, edge-joining, assembly and holding during machining

How to use

Position the workpieces to be joined or held on the bench, align joint edges and place the clamp so the full clamping face covers the intended contact area. Tighten according to the clamp mechanism until uniform pressure is achieved across the joint, avoiding over-tightening that could deform the workpiece. For glue-up operations, ensure even adhesive application before applying the clamp and wipe excess glue promptly. When performing machining or finishing, confirm the clamp is securely mounted to the bench and that the workpiece is stable before starting tools.

Usage recommendations

Use protective pads or thin sacrificial layers when clamping delicate or finished surfaces to prevent marking. For best bonding, apply even adhesive coverage and allow recommended clamp time for the material and adhesive type. Regularly inspect the clamp mounting and contact surface for wear and keep moving parts clean to ensure consistent performance.
