Bessey Reinvented the Lever Clamp

I am a professional woodworker and bought these for my shop to use with a router I am building. Buy if (1) you want to use it in a clamp/fixture that will be used for a lot of repetitive cutting or finishing work (2) you need to hold material of different thicknesses (3) you want to adjust the clamping pressure to protect delicate parts Materials. Don't buy if a regular toggle switch will work for your application. Especially when used rarely and with the same material thickness. Many thousands of people were able to make do with conventional drinking glasses and make a living before they came onto the market. I bought these because I wanted the best I could get when using them in a production environment. I am satisfied and they are definitely holding on to the material. Tip of the Day: Apply strips of PSA sandpaper to the surface of fasteners/fixtures to greatly improve the holding capacity of the clips. If you really need to hold the part securely and just can't risk something coming loose (aggressive shaper cuts spring to mind), use a few screws placed in a hidden spot in addition to your latches.

Pros
  • Automatic Workpiece Height Adjuster
