Product Information
Full details
The BlueSpot Tools 63mm Deep Throat G-Clamp is a robust clamping solution designed for woodworkers, metal fabricators, and DIY enthusiasts who require reliable pressure for assembly, welding, or glue-ups. Its durable malleable cast iron frame and reinforced fine-thread design offer exceptional longevity and a secure grip, though its 63mm reach is best suited for small to medium-scale projects rather than large-format furniture builds.

FAQs
What is the maximum opening capacity?
This model features a 63mm (2.5 inch) clamping capacity.
Can I use this for welding?
Yes, the malleable cast iron frame is highly resistant to heat and is suitable for holding metal workpieces during welding.
How do I prevent the clamp from marking my wood?
It is recommended to use a sacrificial block of wood between the clamp head and your project to distribute pressure and protect the finish.
Does the handle require a tool to tighten?
No, the integrated tommy bar is designed to provide sufficient mechanical advantage for manual tightening by hand.
Is this clamp rust-proof?
It is made of cast iron and features a durable finish, but it should be kept dry and stored in a workshop environment to prevent rust.
Troubleshooting
The clamp handle is difficult to turn.
Clean the main threaded screw with a wire brush to remove debris, then apply a small amount of lubricant.
The clamp foot keeps spinning while trying to tighten.
Ensure the ball-and-socket joint is free of hardened glue or metal burrs; if the foot is stuck, gently nudge it to break the seal and apply a drop of oil.
The clamp slips during use.
Verify that the pivoting foot is fully seated flat against the workpiece and that the material surface is free of oil or sawdust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your BlueSpot G-clamp, always ensure the threads are kept clean of metal shavings and dust. Periodically apply a light machine oil to the threaded screw to maintain smooth operation. When using the clamp on delicate wood surfaces, consider placing a small scrap piece of timber or a leather pad between the clamp foot and your workpiece to prevent surface marring. Store in a dry environment to prevent surface oxidation, despite the durable finish of the cast iron.
