It features a 4-inch jaw length and a maximum capacity of 2-3\/4 inches, making it well suited for woodworking joinery, cabinet assembly, and light fabrication tasks where jaw alignment and consistent pressure are critical. The arms are constructed from hardened steel for durability under repeated clamping cycles. A throat depth of 1.78 inches provides clearance for moderate workpiece thickness without interference. This clamp is a standard bench tool for carpenters, finish woodworkers, and general trade professionals requiring tight, square glue-ups or assembly holds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe STARRETT 50597 is used in bench-top assembly operations where parallel jaw alignment prevents workpiece racking or distortion during clamping. Typical applications include furniture assembly, box construction, panel glue-ups, and precision part alignment in light fabrication. The 4-inch jaw length distributes clamping load evenly, reducing the risk of surface marking or joint misalignment. This clamp is appropriate for both shop and field use wherever a controlled, parallel grip on a workpiece is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParallel jaw design maintains even clamping pressure across the full 4-inch jaw face\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum capacity of 2-3\/4 inches accommodates a range of workpiece thicknesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHardened steel arm construction for durability and resistance to deformation under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThroat depth of 1.78 inches provides clearance for typical bench assembly applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReach of 1-25\/32 inches suits standard joinery and panel assembly tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose parallel clamp suitable for woodworking, cabinet making, and light fabrication assembly operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo power shutoff or electrical isolation is required for clamp use. Inspect jaw faces and screw mechanism before each use to confirm smooth operation and no visible cracks in the hardened steel arms. Apply clamping pressure gradually and evenly to avoid workpiece shifting or jaw skew. Use appropriate jaw pads on finished surfaces to prevent marring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-3\/4 inches (69.85 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJaw Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThroat Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.78 inches (45 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReach\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-25\/32 inches (45.24 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArm Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardened Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50597\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540460536114,"sku":"50597","price":244.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1d2d9072ca69bf70dcf2e9958a03e41a.jpg?v=1785855872","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-50597-parallel-clamp-2-3-4-in-4-in-jaw-hardened-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
