Bench Clamp Erdi UK 600x80 BY UK60 full-surface woodworking clamp, lightweight

Erdi BY UK60 is a full-surface woodworking bench clamp designed to provide broad, even pressure across boards and assemblies. With a 600 x 80 mm clamping area and a lightweight construction, this clamp is intended for securing workpieces during gluing, planing and joining operations. The clamp’s flat contact surface helps reduce point pressure and minimizes marking, making it suitable for tasks that require stable, uniform clamping across a wide area.

Advantages

This bench clamp distributes clamping force evenly over a large surface, reducing the risk of localized deformation. Its lightweight design improves handling and positioning on the workbench while maintaining sufficient rigidity for typical workshop tasks. The full-surface contact reduces the need for additional protective padding and helps maintain alignment during glue-ups and machining operations.

Suitable for

• Securing boards and panels for gluing and laminating
• Holding workpieces flat during planing or sanding
• Clamping assemblies for dowelling, mortising and joining
• Use in carpentry, cabinetmaking and general workshop applications

Key specifications

• Clamping area: 600 x 80 mm
• Full-surface contact design for even pressure distribution
• Lightweight construction for easier handling
• Intended for bench-mounted use in woodworking tasks

How to use

Place the clamp across the workpiece so the full contact surface aligns with the area to be secured. Tighten the clamp until the workpiece is held firmly but without excessive force that could distort the material. For glue-ups, ensure even pressure across the joint and check alignment before the adhesive sets. When planing or sanding, position the clamp to prevent movement while allowing access to the working surface.

Usage recommendations

To protect sensitive surfaces, inspect the contact area for debris and, if necessary, use thin protective pads between the clamp and the workpiece. Apply consistent, moderate torque when tightening; excessive force is unnecessary for broad-surface clamps and can cause damage. Store the clamp in a dry place to prevent corrosion and check moving parts periodically for wear.
