14-Inch High-Pressure Bar Clamp

This Bessey Tools bar clamp delivers 8500 lbs of clamping force across a 14-inch maximum opening. Tempered cold-drawn forged steel construction handles heavy glue-ups, metal fabrication and structural repairs. A 4-inch throat depth reaches past board edges while the swivel MorPad adjusts to angled surfaces.

Woodworkers and metal fabricators needing maximum

Builders who only need light-duty spring clamps or one-handed operation will find this clamp heavier than necessary. Projects requiring openings wider than 14 inches or throat depths beyond 4 inches cannot use this tool. The fixed rail length also prevents extension for longer assemblies.

8500 lb load capacity at 14-inch opening

This single figure determines whether the clamp matches the joint pressure your project demands. The 0.85-inch spindle diameter and 35-degree swivel pad support even force distribution at full load. Verify that your workpiece fits within the 1-3/4 by 2-3/4-inch clamp face before purchase.

Questions about this item

What is the bar thickness and width that determine whether this clamp fits my workpiece?

The bar measures 1-1/2 in thick by 3/4 in wide, made of tempered cold-drawn forged steel.

How do I install the swivel pad correctly so it tilts the full 35 degrees?

Thread the 0.85 in spindle into the sliding arm until the replaceable MorPad seats flush; the 35-degree tilt engages automatically when pressure is applied.

Which part will need replacement first under heavy use?

The swivel MorPad is the only replaceable component; the 0.85 in spindle and forged steel bar are not service items.
