Bessey GSCC2.506 Cast Iron Bar Clamp 6 in 600 Lb

Product Description

The BESSEY GSCC2.506 is a cast iron bar clamp built for firm, consistent workholding in fabrication, woodworking, and assembly applications. It delivers up to 600 pounds of clamping pressure across a 6-inch capacity range, with a 2.5-inch throat depth that allows reach into recessed or stepped workpieces. The rail is cast iron for rigidity and resistance to deflection under load. The wood handle provides a solid grip during tightening. Non-marring pads are included to protect finished or soft material surfaces. This clamp is suited for bench work, jig assembly, glue-ups, and light metalworking tasks where controlled clamping force is required.

The GSCC2.506 is used in woodworking shops, metal fabrication benches, and general assembly stations. Its 6-inch jaw opening covers a wide range of stock thicknesses and part geometries. The 10-inch overall length keeps the clamp compact and manageable in tight workspaces. It is commonly used by carpenters, millwrights, fabricators, and maintenance technicians who need a reliable hand-tightened clamp for repetitive or precision work.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard bar clamp for general-purpose bench and assembly use where a 6-inch capacity cast iron clamp is required.

Installation Notes

Bar clamps require no installation but should be inspected before each use for cracked castings, damaged threads, or worn pads. Apply clamping force gradually and evenly to avoid workpiece movement or damage. Do not use a pipe or extension on the handle to increase torque beyond the rated clamping pressure. Store clamps in a dry environment to prevent rust on cast iron components.
