Light-duty edge clamp for basic edging

This Bessey B-EC3 clamp is built for basic edging projects where a light-duty tool is sufficient. The 3-way adjustable design lets you position the centre jaw to apply pressure and hold edge pieces while gluing or fastening. A cast-iron body with powder-coat finish resists corrosion during regular shop use. The included galvanised steel spindle has a steel swivel pad for secure contact.

300 lb load capacity with 2-1/2 inch throat depth

The clamp delivers a 300 lb load capacity, giving enough holding power for typical light-duty edging tasks. Its 2-1/2 inch throat depth determines how far the jaw reaches from the edge of the workpiece. When a project demands deeper reach or higher clamping force, this model reaches its limit and a heavier-duty clamp becomes necessary.

3-way adjustable centre jaw alignment

The single specification that decides fit is the 3-way adjustable centre jaw, which lets you align pressure exactly where the edge piece needs it. If your workflow requires a fixed-jaw clamp or a different adjustment mechanism, this design will not match that requirement.
