Deep Reach for Construction and Maintenance

The Bessey CDS24-12-WP bar clamp provides a 24 in capacity with a 12 in throat depth for gluing and assembly tasks. Its deep reach flat rail design allows access into tight spaces where standard clamps cannot fit. This tool is built for professionals and serious DIYers who need extended reach on large workpieces. It is not suited for buyers who need a lighter clamp for small-scale hobby work or confined bench spaces.

Forged Steel Handle and Malleable Cast Bar

The forged steel handle delivers high clamping force without flex during normal use. Malleable cast bar material resists deformation under sustained pressure across the full 24 in span. The standard pad face measures 1 7/16 x 1 7/8 in to distribute load evenly on the workpiece. No moving parts generate noise and the manual operation draws zero power.

1 49/64 Inch Maximum Jaw Opening

The clamp opens to a maximum of 1 49/64 in to accommodate thick stock and layered assemblies. A 1 7/8 in clamping surface width provides stable contact across the joint line. No bundled accessories or software are included with this hand tool. Users requiring protective pads or specialised jaw inserts must source them separately.

Questions about this item

How do I position the sliding arm on the 24 in bar before tightening the forged steel handle?

Slide the arm along the flat rail until the 1 49/64 in max jaw opening spans the workpiece, then turn the handle clockwise until the 1 7/8 in wide pads grip firmly.

What parts of the CDS24-12-WP may need replacement after heavy use?

The standard pads on the 1 7/16 x 1 7/8 in clamp faces can wear; the malleable cast bar and forged handle are built for long life.

At what throat depth does the clamp lose rigidity during a long glue-up?

The 12 in deep reach is the maximum throat depth; flex increases as the sliding arm extends fully along the 24 in rail.
