Lincoln Electric KH908 C-clamp 6 Inch Forged Steel

Product Description

The LINCOLN ELECTRIC KH908 is a heavy-duty C-clamp built for demanding fabrication and welding applications. The body and clamp material are both forged steel, delivering the rigidity and durability required for high-stress clamping tasks. The chrome-plated screw and copper-plated spindle resist corrosion and provide smooth, reliable adjustment. With a maximum opening capacity of 6 inches and a standard-depth throat, the KH908 handles a wide range of workpiece thicknesses. This clamp is a staple tool for welders, pipefitters, ironworkers, and structural fabricators who need consistent holding force during tack welding, assembly, and general metalwork.

The KH908 is suited for use in metal fabrication shops, welding bays, and field construction environments. Its standard-depth throat accommodates typical flat and structural workpieces without the clearance limitations of deep-throat designs. It is commonly used to hold workpieces in position during MIG, TIG, and stick welding operations, as well as for general-purpose clamping in mechanical and structural assembly tasks where a secure, adjustable grip is required.

Key Features

• Forged steel body and clamp material for maximum strength under load
• 6 inch maximum opening capacity handles a wide range of workpiece sizes
• Standard-depth throat suits flat plate, angle iron, and structural sections
• Chrome-plated screw for corrosion resistance and smooth operation
• Copper-plated spindle reduces galling and protects workpiece surfaces
• Heavy-duty application rating appropriate for professional welding and fabrication use

Compatibility

Designed as a heavy-duty general-purpose C-clamp for professional welding, fabrication, and structural assembly applications requiring up to 6 inches of opening capacity.

Installation Notes

C-clamps of this type are typically set and adjusted by hand or with a wrench on the tommy bar. Inspect the clamp for cracks or thread damage before each use, particularly after high-load welding operations. Do not use a C-clamp as a ground clamp or as a substitute for a proper welding ground connection. Position the spindle squarely on the workpiece surface to prevent slippage and uneven clamping force.
