Bessey GSCC5.024 Cast Iron Bar Clamp 24 in 1200 Lb

Product Description

The BESSEY GSCC5.024 is a cast iron bar clamp designed for high-load clamping applications in woodworking, fabrication, and general trade work. It delivers 1,200 pounds of clamping pressure across a 24-inch maximum capacity, making it suitable for panel glue-ups, frame assembly, and structural clamping tasks. The cast iron rail provides rigid, consistent force transfer without flexing under load. Non-marring pads are included to protect finished or soft workpiece surfaces. With an overall length of 28 inches and a 5-inch throat depth, this clamp handles a wide range of workpiece profiles encountered in shop and field applications.

The GSCC5.024 is used in professional woodworking shops, metal fabrication environments, and general construction assembly work. The 5-inch throat depth allows it to reach across edge banding, framing members, and similar stock without interference. It is typically installed and operated by carpenters, millwrights, fabricators, and general contractors who require repeatable, high-force clamping on larger workpieces. The 24-inch capacity suits full panel edges, cabinet carcasses, and wide frame joints.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use bar clamp suitable for professional clamping applications requiring a 24-inch capacity cast iron bar clamp.

Installation Notes

Bar clamps of this type are operated by hand and require no power tools for setup. Ensure the workpiece is properly supported and aligned before applying clamping pressure. Do not exceed the rated 1,200-pound clamping force, and inspect the rail and jaw hardware for wear or cracks before each use on structural assemblies. Non-marring pads should be seated correctly against the workpiece to prevent surface damage during clamping.
