60" Parallel K Body Bar Clamp, 3-3/4" Throat Depth

60 Inch Parallel Bar Clamp For Accurate Woodwork

60 inch parallel bar clamp gives long reach for larger glue-ups and assemblies, so wide panels or casework can be drawn together in one setup instead of juggling shorter clamps. Secure clamping force up to 1,700 lb delivers high pressure on joints, which helps pull tight-fitting parts together and reduces gaps during glue curing. Designed to clamp at 90 degrees to the rail, the jaws stay parallel to the work, supporting square assemblies where out-of-square pressure would twist boxes or doors. Very large clamping surfaces spread that 1,700 lb load over more area, which helps protect edges and reduces denting on finished faces. The operating jaw that stays where you put it holds position on the rail, so you can stage multiple clamps on a bench before bringing parts into place without chasing a sliding jaw.

Parallel Clamp Details That Support Daily Work

• Secure clamping force up to 1,700 lb delivers strong pressure on joints, which is useful when drawing stubborn parts together or holding assemblies steady while glue sets.
• Designed to clamp at 90 degrees to the rail with very large clamping surfaces, which supports square casework and keeps pressure distributed evenly across the workpiece.
• Ergonomic two component handle with steel socket for applying force with a hex key or driver when desired (max torque 17 Nm) gives another way to reach final pressure when hand strength or access is limited.
• Operating jaw that stays where you put it supports easy set up, since the jaw holds its position on the rail while you position parts and reach for the handle.
• Three removable pressure caps are resistant to glue, paint and solvents, so the jaw faces stay cleaner in shop conditions and are less likely to transfer residue onto the next job.
• Two work piece supports prevent the clamped material from contacting the steel rail, which helps avoid imprinting or marking along the rail line during clamping.

Clamp Operation, Adjustment, And Setup Workflow

Operated as a parallel clamp at 90 degrees to the rail, this tool supports square glue-ups where alignment matters. For closing and clamping, you pivot the handle towards the rail, slide the jaw to the work piece, and then begin clamping, which allows fast rough positioning followed by controlled pressure. For smooth opening, you release clamping pressure, pivot the handle up and away from the rail, then slide the operating jaw to increase the opening, so the clamp can be cleared from the work without fighting the mechanism. The operating jaw that stays where you put it also streamlines repeated setups on production runs, because jaw positions can be staged along the rail and then quickly brought into contact.

Using The Bessey K Body Revo Clamp In Woodworking

Where This Woodworking Clamp Fits Best

Bessey Tools branding on this parallel clamp places it within a familiar woodworking clamp family, which helps installers and shop crews align it with existing K Body Revo processes. The 60 inch length supports larger casework, tabletops, and long edge-glued panels, allowing assemblies that span the full jaw travel without bridging multiple shorter clamps. Its 3-3/4 inch throat depth reaches well into a panel or frame from the edge, which lets you apply pressure farther from the edge line and helps keep wider pieces flat during glue-up. Designed to clamp at 90 degrees to the rail, the clamp supports cabinet boxes, doors, and frames where square corners are important to hinge and slide function. Two work piece supports hold stock off the rail, giving clearance under the work so edges are not pressed directly onto steel during assembly.

Why These Clamping Features Improve Results

Secure clamping force up to 1,700 lb gives enough capacity to pull tight joints across wide glue lines, which helps reduce spring-back and keeps joints closed while adhesive cures. Very large clamping surfaces spread this force over more area, which helps protect veneer or machined faces from concentrated pressure marks during clamping. The ergonomic two component handle provides a comfortable grip, while the steel socket for a hex key or driver (max torque 17 Nm) allows controlled mechanical tightening when you want consistent pressure across multiple clamps. Three removable pressure caps, resistant to glue, paint and solvents, help keep the contact area functional through repeated glue-ups, reducing time spent cleaning dried adhesive from the jaws. The ability to convert to spreading, no tools required, by removing the end stop and reversing the operating head lets the same clamp serve both clamping and spreading roles, which can simplify setups for tasks like pulling parts into alignment or gently pushing components apart. For smooth opening and closing using the pivoting handle motions, the workflow becomes repeatable, which supports efficient production runs and consistent clamping sequences.
