12 in Bar Clamp for welding and fabrication

The Bessey 2400J-12 bar clamp is built for welders and fabricators who need to secure workpieces during assembly. Its steel bar and handle deliver the rigidity required for high-pressure clamping tasks. The swivel pad grips both sides of the rail for a stable hold on irregular shapes. This clamp suits professional metalworking and heavy-duty shop use.

12 in maximum jaw opening decides fit

The clamp opens to a full 12 in between jaws, setting the absolute limit for workpiece width. A nominal rail size of 1 3/16 x 19/32 in supports that span without excessive flex under load. The 5 1/2 in throat depth determines how far the clamping force reaches from the rail edge. Choose this model only when both the opening and reach match the parts being joined.

Ergonomic handle and swivel pad improve control

The shaped steel handle lets you tighten the jaw comfortably while wearing gloves, reducing hand fatigue during repeated setups. A swiveling pad automatically aligns with angled or uneven surfaces, preventing workpiece marring and keeping force centred. These two features together speed up clamping cycles and protect finished parts in welding and fabrication workflows.

Questions about this item

How wide a workpiece can the 12 in jaw opening actually hold in a real setup?

The clamp opens to a full 12 in, so any piece up to that width fits between the jaws.

What does the 1 3/16 x 19/32 in rail size cap in practice?

That rail cross-section sets the clamp’s rigidity and maximum clamping force before the bar flexes.

How much bench space does the 5 1/2 in throat depth need to mount securely?

The throat reaches 5 1/2 in from the rail, so allow at least that depth on the work surface for the clamp body.
