Full-surface clamp Bessey KRE 1000/95 — 1000 mm clamping capacity, 95 mm jaw width

The Bessey KRE 1000/95 full-surface clamp offers a 1000 mm clamping capacity and 95 mm jaw width to deliver even pressure across large workpieces. Engineered for woodworking and assembly tasks, this clamp secures panels, doors and frames during gluing and fastening operations. The wide clamping faces distribute force to reduce marking and provide a stable hold, supporting accurate alignment and safer handling in both workshop and professional environments.

Advantages

The clamp’s full-surface jaws provide uniform pressure across the contact area, minimising point loading and surface damage. A long 1000 mm bar allows for clamping large or irregularly shaped parts, while the 95 mm jaw width improves stability and load distribution. The design supports repeatable positioning and steady holding force during curing or fastening, which helps improve joint quality and assembly accuracy.

Suitable for

• Clamping large panels, tabletops and cabinet sides during glue-up
• Securing doors and frames for alignment and fastening
• Holding laminated or veneered surfaces to prevent marking
• General assembly and repair tasks in woodworking shops
• Workshop fixtures where wide-area clamping is required

Key specifications

• Clamping capacity: 1000 mm
• Jaw width: 95 mm
• Full-surface (wide-face) jaws for even pressure distribution
• Suitable for panel and frame clamping applications
• Durable construction for repeated workshop use

How to use

Position the clamp so the wide jaws contact the workpiece across the area to be held, ensuring alignment with edges or joints. Slide the movable jaw along the bar to approach the workpiece, then tighten progressively until the desired pressure is achieved. For glue-ups, apply even pressure and check alignment before adhesive curing. Release the clamp by loosening the mechanism and sliding the movable jaw away from the assembly.

Recommendations

Use protective strips or thin sacrificial pads between the jaws and delicate surfaces to further reduce the risk of marking. When clamping long or heavy pieces, support the workpiece on a stable surface to avoid bending or misalignment. Regularly inspect the clamping faces and bar for wear and clean sawdust or adhesive residue to maintain consistent clamping performance.
