Bessey TGK4.516+2K Steel Bar Clamp 16in Woodworking

Product Description

The BESSEY TGK4.516+2K is a steel bar clamp built for woodworking and fabrication applications where reliable, repeatable clamping force is required. It delivers 1,540 pounds of clamping pressure across a 16-inch maximum capacity, with a 4.5-inch throat depth that allows it to reach past edges and raised surfaces. The rail is constructed from steel for rigidity under load. Replaceable pads are included, extending service life and protecting finished workpiece surfaces. This clamp is sized and rated for professional woodworking shops, cabinet assembly, and framing tasks.

This bar clamp is suited for woodworking applications including cabinet assembly, door and panel glue-ups, and frame construction. The 16-inch capacity handles a wide range of common workpiece widths. The 4.5-inch throat depth gives clearance for clamping across thicker stock or over raised joinery. It is used by professional woodworkers, cabinetmakers, millwork shops, and skilled tradespeople who require consistent clamping force across repeated use cycles.

Installation Notes

Bar clamps of this type are used by woodworkers and finish carpenters without power tools or trade licensing requirements. Ensure the workpiece is properly squared and supported before applying clamping pressure. Do not exceed the rated clamping pressure, and inspect pads before each use to prevent surface marring. Replace pads when worn to maintain consistent contact and surface protection.
