cabinetry face frame clamp describes a Bessey Tools BES8511 unit that combines multiple steps of face frame cabinet installation into one process, so face frames are tightened, aligned, pre-drilled, and fastened under a single setup during cabinet runs. This face frame clamp works on stiles from 1-1/2 inches to 2 inches wide and up to 1-1/2 inches thick, so it covers common cabinet construction sizes without changing tools between cabinets. The clamp holds individual cabinet edges together while keeping the faces along the joint flush, so adjacent cabinets present a smooth face frame line ready for hinges and doors. A heavy duty steel clamp body with steel sliding T-bars provides solid clamping force, which matters when pulling slightly out-of-true cabinet boxes into line. Durable construction delivers exceptional strength, so the tool stands up to repeated cabinet installations in shop or jobsite environments.
This Bessey Tools face frame clamp is designed for face frame cabinet installation, so its clamping geometry matches typical stile layouts on adjoining boxes. Working on stiles from 1-1/2 inches to 2 inches wide and up to 1-1/2 inches thick, the clamp handles many standard face frame sizes encountered in kitchen and bath layouts. The heavy duty steel clamp with steel sliding T-bars keeps the jaws tracking under load, which helps cabinet fronts stay in line instead of twisting as pressure is applied. An aluminum alignment plate bridges the two cabinet faces while clamping, so the plate sets the flush reference and limits step at the joint. With non-marring felt pads on the clamp faces and alignment plate, contact points grip without marking, letting the clamp be tightened firmly on finished cabinet parts.
The cabinetry clamp is designed specifically for face frame cabinet installation, so it fits naturally into runs where multiple boxes are joined through their stiles. By working on stiles 1-1/2 inches to 2 inches wide and up to 1-1/2 inches thick, it matches common face frame dimensions found in many cabinet lines. The clamp holds individual cabinet edges together while keeping the faces along the joint flush, so adjoining boxes are pulled tight at the seam and visually aligned across the front. The aluminum alignment plate sits across the cabinet faces at the joint, providing a solid reference surface that guides the faces into the same plane as the clamp is tightened. Heavy duty steel construction with steel sliding T-bars provides a rigid frame, so even when cabinets resist alignment, the clamp can draw them together through the stiles. Non-marring felt pads on the faces and alignment plate cushion all points of contact, so clamping pressure can be raised on finished pieces while protecting visible surfaces.
This Bessey Tools BES8511 cabinetry clamp combines tightening, aligning, pre-drilling, and fastening in one setup, so installers carry out all steps while the clamp remains in position across the face frames. With the integrated pilot-hole drilling guide on one end, bit placement is controlled directly by the clamp, so pilot holes are drilled in relation to the joint without separate marking steps. The drilling guide flips out of the way after drilling, allowing screws to be driven while the clamp still holds the cabinets tight and flush, which keeps the joint from shifting as fasteners seat. ACME threaded screws move smoothly under load, so the installer can dial in clamping pressure progressively instead of fighting thread bind. Durable construction provides exceptional strength over repeated cycles, letting the same clamp handle cabinet runs in project after project. Professional quality installation is achieved in a fraction of the time compared to the use of more conventional clamps, so workflow from layout through fastening stays efficient.

The cabinetry clamp has an integrated pilot-hole drilling guide on one end, so pilot holes can be drilled while the clamp holds the joint, then the guide flips away for screw driving.
The face frame clamp uses an aluminum alignment plate and clamping force to hold cabinet edges together while keeping the faces along the joint flush for a smooth face frame line.
The Bessey Tools BES8511 cabinetry clamp uses non-marring felt pads on the clamp faces and alignment plate, so finished cabinet surfaces are cushioned under clamping pressure.
The cabinetry face frame clamp is built with a heavy duty steel clamp body, steel sliding T-bars, and an aluminum alignment plate, combining strength with a precise alignment surface.
