Overview:
The Bessey 660-S8 is the workhorse light-duty F-style bar clamp for welding, metal fabrication, and woodworking shops that need fast, dependable clamping pressure. Made in Germany using Bessey's own steel, this 8in capacity clamp delivers up to 726lb of clamping force across a 4in throat depth — significantly faster to set up than a C-clamp and considerably stronger thanks to Bessey's patented rail profile that delivers 20% more clamping force per spindle turn. The drop-forged U-shaped sliding arm transfers force evenly across the workpiece, while the heat-treated, high-carbon Acme threaded screw is engineered for years of dependable shop-floor service.
