Jet Tools 70460 60" Parallel Clamp

Jet Tools 70460 60" Parallel Clamp For Precise Work

Jet Tools 70460 60" Parallel Clamp delivers exact 90 degree clamping, so assemblies draw together square when you are gluing up casework, doors, or panels. The clamp is designed to provide up to 1,000 lbs of pressure, giving you the force needed to pull joints tight on hardwood and larger glue-ups. Its exclusive design focuses on precision and power, which supports repeatable, accurate clamping across multiple workpieces. This clamp is part of the JET line of Parallel Clamps, which is known for reliability and sturdiness, helping it stand up to regular use in woodworking shops. Non-marring composite resin jaw faces are glue resistant, so squeeze-out does not bond to the jaws as easily and clamped surfaces stay protected during setup and curing. The 60 inch length offers wide clamping capacity for larger components where parallel pressure and alignment are critical.

Parallel Clamp Details That Support Better Results

• The exclusive design provides exact 90 degree clamping, which helps keep cabinet sides, frames, and panels square during assembly, reducing twist and rework after glue cures.
• Up to 1,000 lbs of clamping pressure gives strong holding force, so joints pull tight along their full length and stay seated while adhesives set on thicker or longer stock.
• Non-marring composite resin jaw faces are glue resistant in design, helping protect finished or sanded surfaces while also limiting buildup on the jaws during repeated glue-ups.
• The ergonomic SUMOGRIP handle, integrated with soft grip technology, supports added comfort and increased torque, which lets you apply higher pressure with better control over the final clamping force.
• The moveable rail stand and end stop help preset clamping capacity rapidly and accurately, saving time when repeating common assemblies and keeping workpieces positioned along the rail.
• The Precision-Rule measurement system provides consistent setup and quick identification of opening capacity, so you can set jaw spacing for specific parts without test fitting each assembly.

Clamp Setup, Adjustment, And Pressure Application

The Acme threaded handle turns easily and applies continuous pressure, so the clamp tightens smoothly as you bring jaws into contact and then draw joints together. Exact 90 degree clamping helps the jaws stay parallel, keeping pressure distributed across the work instead of concentrating at a single point. The ergonomic SUMOGRIP handle with soft grip technology supports higher torque with a more secure hand position, which is useful when targeting the upper end of the clamp's pressure capacity. The moveable rail stand and end stop allow you to set a reference position on the bar, so workpieces register consistently and you do not need to reset from zero every time. With the Precision-Rule measurement system, you can read opening capacity directly along the rail, matching clamp setup to material width before placing the work.

Using The JET 60 Parallel Clamp In Woodworking

Where This 60 Inch Parallel Clamp Performs Best

The 60 inch length supports clamping wider panels and longer assemblies, which suits cabinet cases, table components, and similar work where reach matters. Exact 90 degree clamping means the jaws maintain a parallel relationship, helping edges draw together without racking the parts. Up to 1,000 lbs of pressure allows this clamp to serve in glue-ups involving multiple boards or thicker stock where significant force is beneficial. Non-marring composite resin jaw faces help protect edges and faces during these tasks, particularly on pre-sanded or pre-finished material. Glue-resistant jaw design keeps adhesive from adhering as readily, which helps maintain an even contact surface from job to job. The moveable rail stand and end stop contribute to stable support along the bar, so longer pieces rest more predictably while you tighten the handle and position additional clamps.

Why The JET Design Supports Repeatable Glue-Ups

The exclusive JET design provides precision and power with exact 90 degree clamping, giving consistent alignment whenever you position the clamp correctly on the workpiece. The Acme threaded handle delivers continuous pressure as it turns, allowing you to increase force in small, controlled increments rather than in abrupt jumps. The ergonomic SUMOGRIP handle, with its integrated soft grip technology, allows added comfort and increased torque, which helps you reach the clamp's high pressure capacity without losing control near final tightness. The Precision-Rule measurement system supports consistent setup by showing opening capacity along the rail, so you can reproduce jaw spacing across several clamps on the same assembly. The reversible clamping movable jaw can be reversed to be used as a spreader, providing an additional function when you need to push parts apart or set components to a defined spacing. Together, these elements support repeatable workflows in woodworking operations that rely heavily on accurate clamping.
