Bessey DUO30-8 Bar Clamp 12 in 260 Lb Clamping Pressure

Product Description

The BESSEY DUO30-8 is a heavy-duty bar clamp designed for secure, repeatable clamping across a wide range of fabrication, woodworking, and general trade applications. It delivers 260 pounds of clamping pressure with a maximum jaw capacity of 12 inches and a throat depth of 3-1/4 inches. The DUO30-8 is built for professionals who need consistent grip force without slippage or jaw deflection during glue-ups, assembly work, or fixture holding. At 1 pound, it is light enough to handle in quantity without adding fatigue to extended work sessions.

The DUO30-8 is suited for residential and light commercial trade environments where controlled clamping force is required. Typical applications include cabinet assembly, millwork, door and window framing, and metal fabrication setups. The 12-inch capacity makes it practical for mid-size panel work, while the 3-1/4-inch throat depth allows clearance over standard material thicknesses without repositioning.

Installation Notes

Bar clamps are typically used by carpenters, millworkers, and general trade professionals. Before applying pressure, confirm workpiece surfaces are clean and that jaw pads are properly positioned to avoid marring finished material. Tighten gradually and evenly when using multiple clamps across a single assembly to prevent warping or misalignment. Never exceed the rated clamping pressure by using pipe extensions or additional leverage on the handle.
