24 in Bar Clamp with 20 in Throat
The Bessey CDS24-20-WP bar clamp provides a 24 in clamping capacity and a 20 in throat depth for deep reach. Its forged steel handle delivers high clamping force for assembly, gluing, construction and maintenance tasks. Standard pads and a flat rail pad keep the workpiece secure on the surface.
Forged Steel Handle and Flat Rail Limits
The forged steel handle resists bending under heavy tightening but requires manual effort to operate. The nominal rail size of 1 49/64" x 15/32" fits standard Bessey accessories only. The flat rail pad prevents tipping on level surfaces yet offers no adjustment for angled or uneven workpieces.
Capacity and Reach Boundaries
A 24 in capacity handles wide panels, cabinet frames and long glue-ups comfortably. The 20 in throat depth reaches deep into large assemblies where shorter clamps cannot. Workpieces wider than 24 in or requiring throat depth beyond 20 in exceed this clamp's range.
