40 inch parallel bar clamp delivers secure clamping force up to 1,700 lb, so workpieces are held firmly during glue-ups and assembly when high pressure across wide faces matters. The clamp is designed to clamp at 90 degrees to the rail with very large clamping surfaces, which helps keep casework, panels, and frames square while distributing pressure over a broad area. A 3-3/4 inch throat depth extends the reach from the rail to the clamping face, allowing clamping deeper into assemblies or across thicker stock. The operating jaw stays where you put it for easy set up, so you can position jaws, stage parts, and then bring everything together without fighting jaw drift. Three removable pressure caps are resistant to glue, paint, and solvents, so adhesive squeeze-out and finishing residues do not bond permanently to the clamping faces, helping maintain consistent grip. This clamp is part of the K Body Revo design, built for demanding woodworking.
The clamp converts to spreading with no tools required in seconds by removing the end stop and reversing the operating head, so you can switch from compressing to pushing parts apart without changing tools. For smooth opening, releasing any clamping pressure in place, then pivoting the handle up and away from the rail before sliding the operating jaw, keeps movement along the rail controlled when increasing the opening. For closing and clamping, pivoting the handle towards the rail, sliding the jaw to the work piece, and then beginning clamping uses the handle orientation as part of the engagement, so the jaw advances efficiently into position. The ergonomic two component handle with a steel socket for hex key or driver input up to 17 Nm lets installers dial in predictable pressure on repeated setups. The operating jaw stability along the rail supports accurate placement before final tightening in either clamping or spreading mode.
This parallel clamp is categorized under woodworking tools and equipment, hand tools, and clamps, so it is suited to bench work where controlled manual clamping is central to the process. Secure clamping force up to 1,700 lb supports tasks like panel lamination and carcass assembly where strong, even pressure across joints is needed for consistent bonding. The design clamps at 90 degrees to the rail with very large clamping surfaces, which helps maintain squareness on cabinet sides, door assemblies, and frame components by keeping pressure aligned with the faces instead of concentrating at a point. A 3-3/4 inch throat depth allows the jaw faces to reach farther from the rail, making it practical when clamping deeper boxes or wider frames where a shallow reach would not contact the desired area. Two work piece supports lift material off the steel rail, which helps keep reference faces away from the rail surface during assembly layouts.
The operating jaw that stays where you put it for easy set up allows pre-positioning multiple clamps along a project, improving repeatability when identical parts must be clamped in the same locations. Three removable pressure caps resistant to glue, paint, and solvents keep buildup off the contact faces, supporting consistent friction and contact quality across many cycles of use. The ergonomic two component handle with its steel socket for applying force with a hex key or driver up to 17 Nm offers a defined way to reach higher forces without over-gripping, which supports stable, repeatable torque application on production-style runs. The ability to convert to spreading quickly by removing the end stop and reversing the operating head lets the same tool handle separation tasks, such as pressing frames outward or aligning components from the inside, keeping workflows more streamlined. Clear motions for opening by pivoting the handle up and away from the rail, then sliding the jaw, and for closing by pivoting the handle towards the rail, sliding to the work piece, and beginning clamping, give installers a repeatable sequence that can be followed across multiple clamps to keep timing and pressure application consistent.
The 40 inch parallel bar clamp provides secure clamping force up to 1,700 lb, which supports tight glue joints and stable assemblies on larger woodworking projects.
The 3-3/4 inch throat depth lets the jaws reach farther from the rail, so you can clamp deeper boxes, wider frames, or thicker stock away from the edge.
The clamp is designed to clamp at 90 degrees to the rail with very large clamping surfaces, helping keep workpieces square and pressure evenly distributed across faces.
The parallel clamp converts to spreading with no tools required by removing the end stop and reversing the operating head, allowing both pressing together and pushing apart tasks.
Three removable pressure caps are resistant to glue, paint, and solvents, so squeeze-out and finishes do not adhere easily, helping preserve clean clamping surfaces.
The ergonomic two component handle with a steel socket for hex key or driver use up to 17 Nm lets you apply clamping force comfortably or with added leverage when needed.
The 40 inch parallel bar clamp from Bessey Tools combines secure clamping force up to 1,700 lb, a 3-3/4 inch throat depth, and large 90 degree clamping surfaces, giving cabinetmakers and woodworkers a bar clamp that supports square, even pressure across assemblies. The operating jaw that stays where you put it, along with two work piece supports and removable, glue-resistant pressure caps, helps streamline repeated setups and clean contact with workpieces. With tool-free conversion to spreading and an ergonomic handle that accepts a hex key or driver up to 17 Nm, this KRE3540 clamp fits demanding shop workflows that rely on predictable clamping performance.
