Clamp Vorel 37103 — bar clamp, iron and wooden construction, 250 mm length

Vorel 37103 is a 250 mm bar clamp designed to hold iron and wooden workpieces securely during assembly, gluing and light workshop operations. Constructed with cast iron jaws, a tinned steel rail and a pressure screw with a swivelling pressure plate, this clamp provides steady clamping force for accurate alignment and temporary fixation of parts. The wooden lacquered handle with a metal cap ensures comfortable manual tightening while delivering the required torque for routine woodworking and metalworking tasks.

Advantages

The combination of cast iron jaws and a stable tinned steel rail gives reliable rigidity and wear resistance under repeated use. The pressure screw with a swivelling pressure plate distributes clamp force evenly over workpiece surfaces, reducing the risk of surface damage. A lacquered wooden handle reinforced with a metal cap offers a tactile grip and durability for manual operation, while the 250 mm throat depth and jaw capacity are suitable for a wide range of small to medium clamping tasks.

Suitable for

• Holding wooden boards and panels during glue-up and assembly
• Securing small metal parts for light fabrication and repair
• Temporary fixation of components during drilling or sanding
• Hobby and workshop projects requiring controlled manual clamping

Key specifications

• Clamping length: 250 mm
• Jaws material: cast iron
• Rail: tinned steel rail for stability and corrosion resistance
• Pressure mechanism: screw with swivelling pressure plate for even force distribution
• Handle: lacquered wooden handle reinforced with metal cap for improved durability
• Typical applications: woodworking, light metalworking, repairs

How to use

Place the workpieces between the jaws and slide the movable jaw along the rail until it contacts the material. Turn the wooden handle to engage the pressure screw and apply firm yet controlled force until the parts are held securely. Ensure the swivelling pressure plate sits flat against the workpiece surface to avoid concentrated pressure points. Release by turning the handle in the opposite direction and sliding the movable jaw away from the clamped parts.

Usage recommendations

For best results, protect delicate surfaces with scrap wood or thin pads between the jaws and the workpiece. Avoid over-tightening to prevent deformation of thin materials. Keep the rail and screw clean and occasionally lubricated to maintain smooth adjustment and reliable clamping performance.
