Clamp Vorel 37111 — bar clamp, iron and wood construction, 500 mm length

Vorel 37111 is a 500 mm bar clamp designed to hold workpieces securely during assembly, gluing and general woodworking tasks. The clamp combines an iron construction with wooden components to deliver stable clamping pressure along the bar. Supplied as a single unit per pack, it is intended for hobbyists and light workshop use where temporary or fixed positioning of panels, frames or joints is required.

Advantages

The iron and wood construction provides a balance of strength and user comfort, while the 500 mm length allows clamping of medium-sized workpieces. A pressure screw and swinging pressure plate ensure even force distribution on the clamped surface. The wooden lacquered handle with a metal cap improves grip and durability for repeated use.

Suitable for

• Assembling furniture components and frames
• Gluing panels and laminates
• Holding joints during fastening or drying
• General light woodworking and hobby projects

Key specifications

• Clamping length: 500 mm
• Jaw type: carpentry-style jaws made of cast iron
• Rail: stable tinned steel rail
• Pressure mechanism: screw with swinging pressure plate for even force
• Handle: lacquered wooden handle reinforced with metal cap
• Pack quantity: single piece

How to use

Position the clamp so the cast iron jaws contact the workpiece surfaces to be held. Slide the movable jaw along the tinned steel rail until close to the opposite surface, then engage the pressure screw and tighten steadily until the required clamping force is achieved. The swinging pressure plate adapts to the surface for uniform pressure. To release, turn the pressure screw counter-clockwise and slide the movable jaw away from the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, protect delicate surfaces with thin padding between the jaws and the workpiece. Avoid over-tightening to prevent deformation of workpieces and wear on the clamp components. Store the clamp in a dry place to minimise corrosion on metal parts and maintain the wooden handle's finish.
