Bessey 24 in Clutch Bar Clamp
This Bessey GSCC 2.524 bar clamp serves woodworkers and metalworkers who need a 24 inch maximum jaw opening with a 2 1/2 inch throat depth. The wood handle and nickel-plated steel serrated rail combine for controlled pressure during glue-ups and assembly work. It fits tasks requiring a 3/4 by 1/4 inch nominal rail size and a 1-1/8 by 1-5/8 inch clamping surface.
Installation and common issues
The clamp operates by sliding the movable jaw along the serrated rail and tightening the wood handle to engage the clutch mechanism. A non-marring pad and swivel anvil surface protect workpieces from damage during clamping. The main difficulty arises when the serrated rail becomes contaminated with glue or debris, which can prevent the clutch from locking securely.
24 inch maximum jaw opening
The 24 inch maximum jaw opening determines whether this clamp spans the workpiece you are joining. Buyers needing a longer reach or a different throat depth will find this model unsuitable. The 2.15 weight and HAWA material construction contribute to rigidity but do not alter the fundamental capacity limit.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the 24 in bar clamp is gripping correctly after I tighten the wood handle?
Tighten the wood handle until the non-marring pad contacts the workpiece; the swivel anvil should sit flat and the serrated rail must not slip, giving a firm hold without surface marks.
What comes in the box with the GSCC2.524 and what must I purchase separately?
The clamp ships complete with its nickel-plated steel rail, wood handle, non-marring pad and swivel anvil; no extra parts are required for standard clamping tasks.
Which Bessey bar clamp model should I choose for a 24 in jaw opening and 2 1/2 in throat depth?
Select the GSCC2.524 — it is the only model in this range that delivers a 24 in maximum jaw opening paired with a 2 1/2 in throat depth.
