12 in bar clamp for welding and fabrication

The Bessey SGL-12 is a medium-duty bar clamp designed for welding, fabricating and general maintenance tasks. Its 12 in maximum jaw opening and 4 3/4 in throat depth allow it to secure a variety of workpieces. Cold-drawn alloy steel construction provides durability for repeated shop use. The swivel pad enables attachment to uneven or angled surfaces.

Steel handle with comfortable grip resists bending

The clamp features a steel handle shaped for a comfortable grip that will not bend or break under normal clamping pressure. Installation is straightforward: open the jaws to the required width, position the swivel pad against the workpiece and tighten the handle. The swivel action self-aligns to irregular faces, reducing the chance of slippage. No additional tools or fixtures are required for basic operation.

Cold-drawn alloy steel maintains clamping force

Under sustained load the cold-drawn alloy steel frame resists permanent deformation, keeping the 1 5/16 in clamping surface firmly engaged. The steel handle transmits force directly without flexing, so pressure remains consistent during extended glue-ups or weld set-ups. The swivel pad continues to track the workpiece angle without loosening. This behaviour suits tasks where the clamp must stay tight for long periods.

Questions about this item

How do I know the clamp is holding correctly once I tighten the steel handle?

The swivel pad should sit flat against the workpiece and the 1 5/16" clamping surface should grip evenly without the cold drawn alloy steel bar bowing.

What comes with the SGL-12 and what must I supply?

The bar clamp itself is supplied complete with steel handle and swivel pad; no extra parts are needed for basic clamping tasks.

Which capacity should I choose for a 12 in. maximum opening?

The SGL-12 provides a 12 in. max jaw opening and 4 3/4 in. throat depth, matching that capacity requirement.
