Bessey DUO16-8 Bar Clamp 6 in 260 Lb Clamping Pressure

Product Description

The BESSEY DUO16-8 is a bar clamp built for reliable workholding in fabrication, woodworking, and general trade applications. It delivers 260 pounds of clamping pressure with a 6-inch maximum capacity and a 3-1/4-inch throat depth. The throat depth allows the clamp to reach past edges and flanges to apply force where it is needed. This clamp is suited for professionals who need consistent, repeatable clamping force across assemblies, jigs, or repair work.

This bar clamp is used in woodworking shops, metal fabrication settings, and general construction tasks where controlled clamping pressure is required. The 6-inch capacity covers a wide range of workpiece thicknesses, and the 3-1/4-inch throat depth makes it practical for edge clamping and panel assembly. It is a single-unit package appropriate for individual technicians or tradespeople building out a clamp set.

Installation Notes

Bar clamps require no permanent installation. Position the clamp jaw against the workpiece, tighten to the required holding force, and verify the assembly is stable before proceeding with fastening or bonding operations. Avoid exceeding the rated clamping pressure to prevent workpiece damage or clamp deformation. When used with adhesives or finishes, protect clamp pads from direct contact with solvents that may degrade the jaw material.
