Starrett 50595 Parallel Clamp 1-3/4 in Hardened Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 50595 is a parallel clamp designed for precision workholding in metalworking, machining, and toolroom applications. It provides a maximum clamping capacity of 1-3/4 inches with a jaw length of 2-1/2 inches and a reach of 1 inch. The arms are constructed from hardened steel, offering durability and resistance to wear under repeated clamping loads. This clamp maintains parallel jaw alignment throughout its range of adjustment, which is critical when holding workpieces for layout, drilling, milling, or inspection. It is intended for use by machinists, toolmakers, and precision tradespeople who require consistent jaw contact and reliable grip without distortion to the workpiece.

The STARRETT 50595 is suited for bench-top and machine-table workholding tasks in tool and die shops, machine shops, and maintenance environments. Its compact jaw length and 1 inch reach make it well suited for smaller workpieces or tight clearance situations where a larger clamp would be impractical. It is a direct-use hand tool requiring no mounting hardware or additional fasteners for standard parallel clamping operations.

Key Features

• Maximum clamping capacity of 1-3/4 inches accommodates a range of small workpiece sizes
• 2-1/2 inch jaw length distributes clamping force evenly across the contact surface
• 1 inch reach suits tight clearance and close-tolerance workholding setups
• Hardened steel arm construction resists wear and deformation under repeated use
• Parallel jaw design maintains consistent contact across the full clamping range

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style parallel clamp for general precision workholding applications in metalworking and toolroom environments.

Installation Notes

This clamp is a hand-operated workholding tool and requires no installation. Position the jaws squarely against the workpiece before applying clamping force to ensure parallel contact. Inspect jaw faces for chips or debris before use to avoid marring precision surfaces. No power source, fastening hardware, or special tooling is required for standard operation.
