Bessey DUO65-8 Bar Clamp 24 in 260 Lb Clamping Pressure

Product Description

The BESSEY DUO65-8 is a heavy-duty bar clamp built for demanding clamping applications in woodworking, fabrication, and general shop work. It delivers 260 pounds of clamping pressure across a 24-inch capacity, making it suitable for glue-ups, assembly work, and holding workpieces securely during cutting or fitting operations. A 3.25-inch throat depth gives the clamp clearance to reach over edge banding, frames, and stepped surfaces. This clamp is a standard tool-crib and job-site item for carpenters, finish contractors, millworkers, and fabricators who need reliable, repeatable holding force.

The DUO65-8 is used in residential and light commercial construction, cabinet shops, furniture manufacturing, and general fabrication environments. Its 24-inch reach makes it a practical choice for panel glue-ups, door assembly, and face-frame clamping. The 260-pound clamping pressure rating suits both hardwood and softwood applications where consistent, even pressure is required across the full jaw span.

Key Features

• 260 pounds of clamping pressure for firm, consistent holding force
• 24-inch maximum capacity covers full panel and door assembly widths
• 3.25-inch throat depth clears edge details and raised surfaces
• Bar clamp design distributes pressure evenly along the clamping axis
• Compact and lightweight at 0.6 pounds for easy handling and transport

Compatibility

Designed as a standard bar clamp for general clamping applications across woodworking, fabrication, and assembly tasks where a 24-inch capacity and 260-pound clamping pressure are required.

Installation Notes

Bar clamps require no installation but should be inspected before each use for jaw wear, screw thread condition, and bar straightness. Apply clamping pressure gradually and evenly to avoid workpiece damage or clamp racking. Do not exceed the rated 260-pound clamping pressure by using extension handles or impact tools on the screw mechanism. Store clamps in a dry environment to prevent corrosion on the bar and screw assembly.
