Product Information
Full details
The Bessey GearKlamp GK60_4 is designed for woodworkers, cabinet makers, and DIY enthusiasts who frequently work in confined spaces where traditional clamps cannot fit. Its standout feature is a patented design that places the handle around the rail, allowing for operation in tight areas while delivering up to 2000 N of clamping force. While it offers unparalleled convenience in restricted zones, users should note that the specialized internal gear mechanism requires careful handling to maintain longevity compared to robust, simple-design bar clamps.

FAQs
What is the maximum clamping force of the GK60_4?
The Bessey GearKlamp provides up to 2000 N of clamping force.
Can this clamp be used on round objects?
Yes, the upper section of the jaw features V-grooves designed to securely hold round, pointed, and angular components.
Is the handle removable?
No, the handle is integrated into the rail assembly to facilitate the gear-driven clamping motion.
How do I move the clamp quickly?
Use the quick-release shift button located on the clamping head to slide it freely along the rail without turning the handle.
Will the clamp leave marks on my project?
The clamp features a swivel pressure plate with protective covers to minimize the risk of marring your workpiece.
Troubleshooting
The clamp head does not slide freely
Check the rail for obstructions or wood dust. Clean the rail with a dry cloth and ensure the quick-release button is fully depressed while sliding.
The handle turns but the jaw does not advance
Ensure the jaw is fully engaged on the rail. If it still fails to move, check for debris inside the housing and ensure no internal parts have become misaligned.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ideal for tight, confined spaces where standard clamps fail
- Ergonomic handle position provides excellent leverage
- Quick-release button facilitates fast setup and removal
- Protective covers prevent damage to finished workpieces
- Lightweight yet durable construction
Cons
- Internal gear mechanism is more complex than standard screw-style clamps
- Not intended for heavy-duty industrial pressing or metalwork
- Price point is higher than basic entry-level F-style clamps
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To operate the clamp, use the shift button to slide the jaw to the desired position, then turn the 2-component handle to engage the internal gears and tighten the clamp. For best results, ensure the rail is kept clean of heavy wood debris or dust, which could impede the sliding mechanism. The protective caps on the pressure plate should be checked periodically for wear and replaced if they become cracked or lost. Store the clamp in a dry environment to ensure the internal gear mechanism remains free of corrosion, and avoid applying excessive force beyond the rated 2000 N to prevent internal gear stripping.
