Frequently Asked Questions

What types of Bessey clamps does Infinity Tools carry?

Infinity Tools carries a wide range of Bessey clamps including K Body Revo parallel jaw clamps, pipe clamps, bar clamps, angle clamps, spring clamps, band clamps, one-handed trigger clamps, and cabinet face frame clamps.

What makes Bessey K Body clamps better than standard bar clamps?

Bessey K Body clamps maintain jaw parallelism throughout their clamping range, which means pressure is distributed evenly across the workpiece rather than concentrated at one point. This prevents panel bow during glue-ups and produces flatter assemblies.

Which Bessey clamp is best for cabinet face frames?

The Bessey Cabinet Face Frame Clamp is purpose-built for this task. It applies right-angle pressure to pull the face frame tight against the cabinet box while keeping it flush, eliminating the need for multiple clamp setups.

Can Bessey pipe clamps work with standard plumbing pipe?

Yes. The Bessey BPC-H34 3/4 Pipe Clamp heads attach to standard 3/4-inch black pipe, which you cut to any length needed. This makes pipe clamps highly economical for large glue-ups.

Are Bessey clamps worth the price for hobbyist woodworkers?

Bessey clamps are built to professional standards and carry a price premium over entry-level clamps. However, they last decades with proper care and deliver consistent, reliable results. Many hobbyist woodworkers consider them a lifetime investment worth making.

What is the Bessey Gearklamp used for?

The Bessey Gearklamp uses a gear-driven mechanism to apply and release clamping force with a ratcheting action. It is well suited for applications where precise, incremental tightening is beneficial, such as light assembly and holding irregular pieces.

How do Bessey one-handed trigger clamps work?

The Bessey EZ one-handed trigger clamps use a squeeze-trigger mechanism that advances the jaw with each pump. This lets you position and clamp a workpiece without setting down the part you are holding, which is invaluable during solo assembly.

Can I use Bessey spring clamps for gluing veneer?

Yes. Bessey XM Spring Clamps apply consistent light pressure and are useful for holding veneer, edge banding, and lightweight assemblies. For heavy clamping pressure, bar or parallel jaw clamps are a better choice.
