Clamping Bar / Workbench Clamp MODECO MN-37-245 120x500 mm

MODECO MN-37-245 workbench clamp with a clamping surface of 120 x 500 mm is designed to hold and secure workpieces during woodworking, assembly and gluing operations. The clamp bar provides even pressure distribution along its length to keep boards, panels and frames stable while you work. Constructed to suit both hobbyists and professional workshops, this clamping bar offers a straightforward solution for temporary fixation on benches, jigs and portable setups.

Advantages

The long clamping surface delivers uniform force across the workpiece, which reduces risk of movement and ensures consistent joints during gluing. A robust bar and jaw assembly provides reliable grip on different materials including wood, MDF and composite panels. The clamp is easy to position and operate, allowing quick setup and adjustment for varied thicknesses and lengths of stock. Its dimensions give a balance between reach and compactness for common shop tasks.

Suitable for

• Holding boards and panels during glue-ups
• Securing workpieces for sawing, planing and routing
• Temporary fixation for frame assembly and joinery
• Workshop and hobbyist clamping tasks

Key specifications

• Clamping surface dimensions: 120 x 500 mm
• Type: clamping bar / workbench clamp
• Applicable materials: wood, engineered wood, composite panels
• Mounting: bench- or jig-mounted temporary clamp
• Function: even pressure distribution along the bar for secure holding

How to use

Position the clamp so the clamping surface contacts the workpiece at the required location, aligning it with the bench or jig. Tighten the clamp mechanism until the workpiece is held firmly; avoid over-tightening to prevent surface damage. For glue-ups, apply clamps evenly along the length of the joint and check alignment before the adhesive sets. Release and reposition the clamp as needed for successive operations.

Usage recommendations

Use protective pads or scrap wood between clamp jaws and finished surfaces to prevent marking. For longer glue joints, use multiple clamps spaced evenly to maintain uniform pressure. Inspect the clamp before each use for wear or damage to ensure consistent performance.
