Woodworking Bar Clamp Top Tools 80x300 mm model 12A220

Bar clamp Top Tools 80x300 mm model 12A220 is a woodworking clamp designed for holding medium-sized workpieces securely during gluing, assembly and carpentry operations. With an 80 mm jaw width and a 300 mm clamping capacity, the clamp provides even pressure distribution across boards, frames and panels to maintain alignment and reduce movement while adhesives set or fasteners are fitted.

Advantages

The clamp's 80 mm wide jaws deliver stable contact area that helps avoid point pressure and protects workpiece surfaces. Its 300 mm throat capacity accommodates typical panel and frame dimensions, allowing users to clamp multiple pieces or larger sections. The design provides straightforward manual operation and reliable holding force suitable for temporary fixing, alignment and light-to-medium clamping tasks.

Suitable for

• Gluing and laminating wood panels and boards
• Assembly of frames, doors and window sashes
• Carpentry tasks requiring temporary alignment and holding
• Holding small to medium fixtures during sanding or finishing

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 80 mm
• Maximum clamping capacity (span): 300 mm
• Intended use: woodworking, carpentry and assembly
• Clamping style: bar clamp with sliding jaw
• Contact surface: wide jaw faces to distribute pressure

How to use

Position the clamp so the workpieces rest evenly on the 80 mm jaw faces, slide the movable jaw along the bar until it contacts the work, then tighten to the required holding force. Check alignment before applying full clamping pressure and ensure pads or protective strips are used if needed to prevent surface marking. Release the clamp by disengaging the locking mechanism and sliding the movable jaw away from the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

Use the clamp for temporary holding and alignment rather than as a permanent fixture. For finished surfaces, place protective pads between the jaws and the workpiece. Inspect the bar and jaws for wear or damage before each use and avoid over-tightening to prevent deformation of both the clamp and the workpiece.
