Heavy-Duty Steel Bar Clamp – Model 3712-HD – This Jorgensen clamp represents the powerhouse in professional workshops. With a 12-inch capacity and an immense clamping force of up to 1,000 lbs, this model is designed to handle the largest construction and carpentry tasks that require powerful compression and absolute stability that ordinary clamps cannot provide.
Professional Features and Benefits:
-
Industrial Clamping Force (1,000 lbs): Provides an enormous clamping force equivalent to almost half a ton, making it ideal for pressing wide solid woods and ensuring full glue penetration in deep joints.
-
Professional Reach (3 inches): The deep jaws give you the ability to apply pressure away from the edges of the workpiece, ensuring superior balance and preventing wood warping during clamping.
-
Wide Industrial Steel Bar: The bar comes with massive dimensions (1 inch x 5/16 inch) of high-carbon steel, providing maximum resistance to bending and twisting under extreme stress.
-
Multiple-Disc-Clutch Technology: Jorgensen's original multiple-disc-clutch system ensures the sliding head locks instantly at any point, providing complete security and preventing any loss of pressure during operation.
-
Acme Screw with Large Handle: Equipped with a heavy-duty Acme-type lead screw and a comfortable, easy-to-grip handle, allowing you to generate enormous clamping force smoothly and with precise control.
