90° Angle Clamp for Light-Duty Work
The Bessey WS-1 is a die-cast zinc hand tool that holds workpieces at a fixed right angle. Two adjustable spindles accommodate different material thicknesses while the clamp remains secured to the bench through integrated mounting holes. It weighs .5 kg and is supplied new.
Upgrading from Improvised Jigs
This clamp replaces makeshift corner blocks, tape or extra hands when assembling frames, boxes or mitred joints. The jump is worth it when repeatable 90° alignment matters more than heavy clamping force, because the light-duty design and fixed throat depth limit the pressure and workpiece size it can handle.
Suits Hobbyists and Light Assembly
Woodworkers, model makers and DIY builders who need quick, accurate right-angle holding for small parts will find it practical. Buyers who need more throat depth, higher clamping pressure or the ability to secure large panels should look at something else.

Questions about this item
What mounting holes does the WS-1 have for fixing it to a bench?
The clamp includes mounting holes so you can bolt it securely to your work surface.
How do the two spindles work during installation, and what is the common mistake?
Turn each spindle independently to fit the workpiece; the mistake is tightening one side fully before the other, which pulls the joint out of 90 degrees.
Will the die-cast zinc body or the 1/4 in. spindle need lubrication later?
The zinc body is corrosion resistant; apply light oil to the spindle threads occasionally to keep adjustment smooth.
