These medium-duty clamps deliver the clamping pressure and performance needed by professionals, hobbyists, and DIYers alike. Ideal for everyday woodworking tasks such as gluing panels, assembling casework, boxes, frame-and-panel doors, or any project requiring precise 90-degree clamping to the rail, they ensure square glue-ups every time while preventing parts from bowing. They can also be used with your work parallel to the flat bar rail when clamping longer, flat pieces. Offering all the key features and functionality of our heavy-duty clamps but with reduced clamping pressure—still adequate for most tasks—they provide a lighter, less bulky, and more affordable option for professional results.

Featuring steel-reinforced nylon jaws, they provide powerful and rigid clamping pressure. The jaws, measuring 5-1/4" x 1-3/4", distribute clamping forces evenly, with a generous usable jaw depth of 3-1/2. Both jaws come equipped with anti-marring, glue-resistant, removable clamping pads. These clamps generate up to 1320 lbs. of clamping pressure.  The 1-3/4" wide jaws allow you to use fewer clamps and prevent crushing of your workpieces. 

The jaws of these clamps will not free-fall and strike your workpiece (or your hand) when used or stored vertically. The moveable jaws disengage and slide along the rail effortlessly when pressure is released and the handle is lifted. To lock the clamping head securely, simply lower the handle, slide it to the desired position, and apply pressure. The moveable jaw locks onto the serrated steel I-beam via several hardened clutch plates.  These clamps generate up to 880 lbs. of clamping pressure. 

Each clamp comes with a removable stop at the end of the rail to prevent the clamp head from sliding off and to keep the clamps level during narrow glue-ups. Remove the stops, reverse the head, and the clamps can also be used as spreaders.

Featuring a 1" x .25" C45 carbon steel I-beam rail, these clamps resist flexing and torsional forces. The steel rail is nickel-plated, while the screw is blackened to prevent corrosion.

The moveable jaw has a smooth-turning carbon steel Acme screw, delivering maximal clamping pressure with minimal effort. Jaw screw travel is a full 1". 

The ergonomic soft-grip two-part Plastic/TPR handle optimizes torque and reduces hand fatigue.
