Clamp Vorel 37250 — bar clamp, iron and wood construction, 250 mm length

Vorel 37250 is a 250 mm bar clamp constructed from cast iron and wood, designed to hold and press workpieces during woodworking, gluing and assembly operations. The clamp features a fixed jaw and an adjustable sliding jaw on a tin-plated steel rail with a pressure screw and swinging pressure plate, providing stable clamping force for carpentry, cabinetry and hobby projects where temporary, reliable holding is required.

Advantages

The combination of cast iron jaws and a tin-plated steel rail ensures durability and consistent performance under repeated use. A wooden lacquered handle reinforced with a metal tap provides comfortable grip and effective tightening torque while the swinging pressure plate adapts to uneven surfaces to distribute pressure evenly. Supplied as a single unit, the clamp is compact and straightforward to operate for quick setup and release.

Suitable for

• Holding pieces during glue-up and drying
• Securing parts for cutting, sanding and routing
• Temporary assembly of furniture components
• Hobby and DIY workshop tasks requiring firm pressure

Key specifications

• Clamping length: 250 mm
• Jaw material: cast iron
• Rail material: tin-plated steel
• Handle: lacquered wooden handle reinforced with metal
• Pressure mechanism: screw with swinging pressure plate
• Configuration: fixed jaw and adjustable sliding jaw

How to use

Position the clamp so the fixed jaw contacts one side of the workpiece and slide the adjustable jaw until it contacts the opposite side. Turn the wooden handle to advance the pressure screw until the swinging pressure plate makes firm contact and the workpieces are held securely. Adjust as needed to avoid over-tightening on delicate materials; release by turning the handle counterclockwise and sliding the adjustable jaw away from the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

Use protective pads or scrap wood between the clamp jaws and finished surfaces to prevent marking. Inspect the rail and screw for debris and apply light lubricant to the screw thread periodically to maintain smooth operation. For best results during glue-ups, apply even pressure and avoid excessive torque that can squeeze out too much adhesive.
