Clamp G-type Irwin 6"/150mm model T1206, universal workshop clamp

The Irwin G-type clamp 6"/150mm model T1206 is a compact universal workshop clamp designed for general-purpose holding tasks. With a 150 mm throat depth and a screw-driven mechanism, this clamp provides controlled clamping pressure for gluing, sawing, drilling and assembly operations. Its compact size and robust construction make it suitable for use in woodworking, metalworking and composite fabrication where a reliable, easy-to-adjust clamp is required.

Advantages

The clamp features a screw mechanism that allows fine adjustment of pressure and accurate positioning of workpieces. Its G-shaped frame delivers stable holding force while minimizing flex under load. The compact throat and solid clamp pads protect surfaces and distribute pressure evenly. Designed for workshop and on-site use, the clamp is durable and straightforward to operate, offering repeatable results during common assembly and repair tasks.

Suitable for

• Clamping parts for gluing and assembly in woodworking
• Holding small metal pieces during drilling or filing
• Securing composite panels for trimming or finishing
• Temporary hold during sanding, cutting or layout work

Key specifications

• Throat depth: 150 mm (6")
• Clamp type: G-frame (C-clamp style) with screw mechanism
• Material compatibility: wood, metal, composite materials
• Contact pads: protective faces to reduce surface marring
• Operation: manual screw tightening for adjustable clamping pressure
• Design: compact form factor for limited-access or bench-top use

How to use

Position the clamp so the open throat accommodates the workpiece and align the contact pads with the surfaces to be held. Turn the screw handle clockwise to increase clamping pressure until the workpiece is secured; turn counterclockwise to release. Ensure the clamp applies even pressure and avoid overtightening to prevent damage to delicate materials. Use protective strips between the pads and finished surfaces when necessary.

Usage recommendations

Use the clamp for light-to-medium duty workshop tasks where a compact, reliable hold is required. For repetitive or high-torque applications, verify the clamping force regularly and pair with larger clamps if greater holding capacity is needed. Store in a dry place and keep the screw threads clean and lightly lubricated for long-term smooth operation.
