Bessey KREV40 Parallel Clamp 40 Inch 1700 Lbs

Product Description

The BESSEY KREV40 is a heavy-duty parallel clamp built for woodworkers, cabinet makers, and finish carpenters who need consistent, square clamping pressure across large assemblies. Part of the K Body REVOlution series, it delivers a nominal clamping force of 1700 lbs and a maximum load limit of 2200 lbs. The profiled steel rail keeps both jaws aligned at a true 90 degrees to the rail face, eliminating racking during glue-ups. The ergonomic two-part handle includes a steel socket that accepts a hex key, useful for applying additional force without stressing the wrist. The unit weighs 8.48 pounds and features a 3.75-inch throat depth on a 40-inch clamping capacity rail.

The KREV40 is suited for residential and commercial millwork applications including cabinet assembly, face-frame construction, door panel glue-ups, and furniture fabrication. The operating jaw slides freely along the rail and holds position without drifting during part setup, which speeds up single-operator assembly work. Protective jaw pads are replaceable, extending the service life of the clamp without requiring full replacement. The clamp also converts to a spreader without tools, making it a dual-function addition to a production or job-site kit.

Installation Notes

This clamp is a hand tool requiring no power source or fastener installation. Before use, inspect the rail and jaw surfaces for debris that could affect squareness. When applying maximum clamping force via the hex-key socket, do not exceed the rated maximum torque of 17 Nm (12.5 lb-ft) to avoid rail or jaw damage. Jaw pads should be checked periodically and replaced when worn to prevent marring finished surfaces.
