Bessey SLV200M Steel Bar Clamp 79 in 1450 Lb Clamping Pressure

Product Description

The BESSEY SLV200M is a heavy-duty steel bar clamp built for woodworking, fabrication, and general trade applications where high clamping force and long reach are required. It delivers 1,450 pounds of clamping pressure across a maximum capacity of 79 inches, making it suitable for large panel glue-ups, cabinet assembly, and structural framing work. The steel rail provides rigid support throughout the clamping range, and the 4-3/4 inch throat depth keeps the clamp bar clear of workpiece edges. With an overall length of 87 inches and a minimum spread of 15 inches, this clamp covers a wide range of workpiece sizes in a single tool.

The SLV200M is used in professional woodworking shops, millwork facilities, metal fabrication shops, and on commercial job sites where large-format clamping is a routine task. The standard clamp type suits straightforward parallel clamping setups. Carpenters, cabinetmakers, and fabricators working with oversized panels or assemblies will find this clamp fits their typical production workflow. It is sold individually and is appropriate for shops that need dedicated long-bar capacity without relying on multiple shorter clamps in series.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard steel bar clamp suitable for woodworking, fabrication, and general assembly applications requiring extended clamping capacity up to 79 inches.

Installation Notes

Bar clamps of this size and pressure rating are typically handled by two people during setup to avoid workpiece shifting. Inspect the rail and sliding jaw for debris before use, and ensure the clamping faces are properly aligned before applying full pressure. Do not exceed the rated clamping pressure, as overtightening can damage workpieces or distort the rail over time.
