Timbecon Presenter and woodworker, Patrick Holcombe, takes a look at the differences between parallel clamps at differing price ranges. He discusses what to look for and why some clamps are more equal than others...

World Class Parallel Clamping

Anywhere where high pressure clamping, 90° clamping or powerful spreading is required the Evolution of the BESSEY K Body REVO clamp is the ideal tool. With a new design that has increased the already impressive clamping forces now up to 8,000 N (up from 7,000 N in the original K Body REVO), large clamping surfaces and sensible accessories this clamp can do the job. The BESSEY K Body REVO clamp is also ideally suited for accurate adjustment of corners and offset edges.

Clamping force up to 8,000 N
The new ergonomically formed 2-component symmetrical plastic handle with hexagon socket means the clamping force can be comfortably applied (max. torque 17 Nm)
Wear resistant cold drawn square blackened acme threaded spindle
Very large 95 x 20 x 20mm parallel clamping surface
Glass fibre reinforced polyamide jaw cover pressure caps to protect delicate surfaces (that are repellent to glue, and also resistant to paint and grease solvents)

Torquata Parallel Clamps
Parallel clamps completely change the game in high-performance clamping. Their name comes from the ability of the jaws to remain parallel to each other and stay at 90°, ensuring it pulls your work piece in square every time without needing to check.

Their design makes them much lighter and easier to handle than standard sash clamps but still apply massive 400kg of clamping force. These clamps feature –

Drawn steel I-beam bar will not flex while reducing clamp weight
Easy conversion into spreader without needing tools
Durable die cast aluminium body with all steel clamp fittings
Jaw depth of 100mm
Powdercoated finish with non-marring TPR jaw pads
Two non-marring clip-on work piece supports included
