Bar Clamp Högert Technik HT3B909 500 x 120 mm woodworking clamp

Bar Clamp Högert Technik HT3B909 500 x 120 mm woodworking clamp is a fixed-pressure clamping tool designed for woodworking and joinery. The clamp combines a long steel bar with an adjustable sliding jaw to secure boards, frames and components during gluing, assembly, cutting, sanding and finishing. Constructed for routine workshop tasks, it is suitable for both hobbyists and professional users who require stable holding force for straight edges and panel work.

Advantages

The clamp delivers consistent clamping pressure with a simple one-handed adjustment mechanism and a robust steel bar that resists bending under typical workshop loads. Its adjustable jaw allows accurate positioning on workpieces up to the specified spread, while the practical handle and pressure pad distribute force evenly to protect surfaces. The design emphasizes reliable holding, ease of operation and an extended reach compared with shorter clamps.

Suitable for

• Clamping boards for edge-gluing and panel assembly
• Holding frames and mouldings during fastening and finishing
• Securing workpieces for cutting, sanding or routing
• Temporary fixtures for gluing jigs and light joinery

Key specifications

• Maximum spread: 500 mm
• Throat depth / jaw opening: 120 mm
• Bar material: steel for rigidity and straightness
• Adjustable sliding jaw for precise positioning
• Ergonomic handle with pressure pad to protect surfaces

How to use

Place the clamp with the fixed jaw against one side of the workpiece and slide the adjustable jaw until it contacts the opposite side. Turn the handle or engage the adjustment mechanism to apply sufficient pressure for the operation, taking care not to overtighten and damage the material. For longer assemblies, multiple clamps positioned along the workpiece ensure uniform pressure. Release the clamp by loosening the handle or disengaging the fast-release mechanism, then reposition as needed.

Usage recommendations

For best results when edge-gluing or assembling panels, use cauls or protective pads between the clamp jaws and the wood to prevent marking. Apply even pressure across the joint by using several clamps spaced evenly. Inspect the clamp bar periodically for straightness and keep sliding parts clean and lightly lubricated to maintain smooth adjustment.
