Festool 160mm Ratcheting Quick Clamp is a solid steel clamp designed as the perfect complement to the Festool MFT or guide rail system, so it secures your workpiece while you cut, sand, or route. The clamp uses a ratcheting mechanism that enables easy locking and quick release, which speeds up repetitive clamping and reduces interruptions at the bench. It is designed to work seamlessly with the holes and channels on the Festool MFT Multifunction Table, allowing you to position the workpiece where you need it and hold it firmly. The same clamp can be inserted into the bottom T-slot of Festool FS Guide Rails, giving you limitless positioning along the rail for accurate cuts. A clamping thickness of 6-5/8 inches (168 mm) lets you hold thicker materials securely for a wide range of woodworking applications.
This Festool quick clamp is designed specifically for Festool guide rails and multifunction tables (MFT), so the clamp geometry matches the MFT holes, channels, and guide rail T-slot. When the clamp engages the MFT holes and channels, it locks the workpiece down onto the table surface, which supports stable cutting and sanding operations. When inserted into the bottom T-slot of a Festool FS Guide Rail, the clamp locks the rail directly to the workpiece or support surface, which maintains rail alignment for long cuts. The ratcheting mechanism works within these interfaces by letting you apply firm pressure in small increments, then release quickly without disturbing the rail or table setup.
The Festool Quick Clamp is designed to work seamlessly with the holes and channels on the Festool MFT Multifunction Table, so the clamp stem fits the table pattern and holds workpieces against the surface. When clamping through the MFT holes, the 6-5/8 inch (168 mm) clamping thickness lets you secure thicker panels or assembled parts directly on the table, which helps keep edges supported while cutting or routing. The solid steel version of the clamp maintains clamping force across this thickness range, which is useful when sanding or routing near the edge of a part. Because the clamp secures the workpiece for precision cutting, sanding, routing, or other tasks, it supports detailed operations where movement would affect accuracy. On an MFT setup, the clamp can be moved between holes and channels, which adapts to different part sizes and support locations as projects change.
The Festool quick clamp for FS guide rails can be inserted into the bottom T-slot of the rail, so it slides to any point along the rail length before you lock it down. Utilizing the bottom T-slot of the guide rail in this way provides limitless positioning, which lets you anchor the rail where support is strongest on the workpiece or bench. When the clamp secures the rail, the workpiece remains aligned to the cutting path, which is important for straight or repeatable cuts. The ratcheting quick clamp mechanism tightens the rail connection in controlled steps, so you can apply consistent pressure without shifting the rail off a marked line. The same clamp also secures workpieces for sanding or routing operations guided by the rail, which keeps the reference edge stable. Because the clamp is intended for use with Festool guide rails and multifunctional tables (MFT) only, its dimensions and engagement surfaces match these systems for reliable day-to-day setup.
The Festool 160mm Ratcheting Quick Clamp secures your workpiece for precision cutting, sanding, routing, or other applications, which keeps material stationary so tools track predictably across the surface.
The ratcheting mechanism enables easy locking and quick release, so you can change clamping pressure or reposition parts rapidly without fully disassembling the setup.
The Festool quick clamp works seamlessly with holes and channels on the Festool MFT Multifunction Table, so it mounts directly through the table pattern to hold workpieces against the surface.
The clamp can be inserted into the bottom T-slot of Festool FS Guide Rails, which lets you slide it along the rail and lock the rail or workpiece at any needed position.
The Festool quick clamp has a clamping thickness of 6-5/8 inches, or 168 mm, so it holds a wide range of material thicknesses for different woodworking operations.
The solid steel Festool clamp is designed for use with Festool guide rails and multifunctional tables (MFT) only, aligning with those systems for woodworking and similar tasks.
The Festool 160mm Ratcheting Quick Clamp, part number 491594, is purpose-built for Festool guide rails and MFT work tables, so it integrates directly into those systems for daily workholding. Its ability to secure your workpiece for precision cutting, sanding, routing, or other tasks supports both shop and jobsite setups that rely on accurate positioning. The 6-5/8 inch (168 mm) clamping thickness and solid steel construction work together to hold a broad range of stock under load. When paired with the ratcheting quick clamp mechanism and limitless positioning in the bottom T-slot of FS Guide Rails, the clamp becomes a practical choice for installers and woodworkers who want consistent alignment from one operation to the next.
