20 in bar clamp for assembly and gluing

The Bessey 2400S-20 is a regular duty bar clamp built for assembly, woodworking, gluing, and metalworking tasks. A rigid steel bar carries a fixed head and an adjustable sliding head that locks in place to apply pressure across a workpiece. It suits professionals and hobbyists who need a single clamp with a 20 in reach.

Steel bar slide mechanism limits throat depth

The sliding mechanism moves along the steel bar and provides a fixed throat depth of 5 1/2 in from the bar to the jaw face. This depth sets the practical limit for how far the clamping force can reach inside a workpiece edge. The 4 5/8 in plastic and steel T handle supplies the leverage needed to lock the slide and generate force.

2,800 lb clamping force handles heavy glue-ups

At full tightening the clamp delivers 2,800 lb of axial force, enough for large panel glue-ups, frame assembly, and metal fabrication joints. The removable swivel jaw pad adjusts to angled or uneven surfaces to maintain even pressure. Capacity runs out when the workpiece exceeds the 20 in opening or when the fixed throat depth cannot reach the required clamping point.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 20 in model or a shorter bar clamp for my project?

The 20 in clamping capacity suits workpieces up to that width; choose a shorter bar only if your typical assemblies are narrower and you want less reach.

What does the 2,800 lb clamping force deliver on the bench?

It provides up to 2,800 lb of axial pressure when the handle is fully tightened, enough for strong glue joints in hardwood or holding steel parts during welding.

How does the sliding bar mechanism limit adjustment speed?

The adjustable sliding head moves along the steel bar and locks in place, so each reposition means sliding, then tightening the T-handle to secure the jaw.
