Bessey SQ-8 F-style Welding Clamp 8x5.5 Inches 2660 Lb

Product Description

The BESSEY SQ-8 is a heavy-duty F-style welding clamp designed for metal fabrication and structural welding applications. It features a forged sliding arm machined from tempered steel for extended service life under repeated load cycles. The high-carbon Acme threaded screw is spatter resistant and tempered to deliver a rated clamping force of 2660 pounds. The heavy-duty pad protects workpiece surfaces during clamping. At 5.5 pounds, this clamp is built for sustained use in professional shop and field welding environments. Fabricators, ironworkers, and welding contractors are the primary installers and users of this tool.

This clamp is suited for heavy-duty clamping tasks in welding fabrication shops, structural steel work, and metal assembly. With an 8-inch throat depth and 5.5-inch opening capacity, it accommodates a range of material thicknesses and joint configurations commonly encountered in professional metalworking. The spatter-resistant screw reduces maintenance time in active welding environments where weld spatter is a routine concern.

Installation Notes

This clamp is intended for use by welding professionals and trained fabricators. Inspect the clamp for wear, cracks, or thread damage before each use and do not exceed the rated clamping force. Keep the threaded screw clean of excessive spatter buildup to maintain smooth operation and accurate load delivery. Always secure the workpiece fully before striking an arc or applying load.
