Bessey BES8511 Face Frame Clamp Pair

 This item consists of two (2) clamps.  The BESSEY face frame cabinetry clamp is designed to combine the multiple steps of face frame cabinet installation into one easy process. It works on stiles up to 1-1/4 in. thick and has a clamp capacity of 4 in.  The design of this clamp allows you to tighten, align, pre-drill and fasten the cabinet stile, all while the clamp is in place. The clamp holds the individual cabinet edges together while keeping the faces along the joint flush.  Drill your pilot hole using the integrated pilot-hole drilling guide located on the clamp side.  Then simply flip the guide out of the way to drive your screws in to connect the cabinet frames.  There is no need to remove or reposition the clamp!  Professional quality installation is achieved in a fraction of the time compared to the use of more conventional clamps.     

This heavy-duty clamp is made primarily of steel, with steel sliding T-bars and an aluminum alignment plate.  It comes with 3 non-marring felt pads for the clamp faces and alingment plate to protect and cushion the points of contact on your cabinets.  The BES8511 clamp weighs approximately 1.5 lbs. and includes the following specifications:

• 4 in. clamp capacity 
• 1-1/4 in. throat depth
• 2 in. jaw width
• 300 - 600 lbs. clamping force
