Turn A Bar Clamp Into An Edge Clamp
By Benjamen Johnson
This neat little accessory from Bessey turns a bar clamp into an edge clamp, and it’s cheaper than buying one of their standalone edge clamps. You can even perform operations that you could never do with a standalone edge clamp, like clamp pieces off-center or attach multiple edge clamps to a single bar to distribute the force on wider pieces.
Made in Germany, Bessey’s single-spindle edge-clamp add-on secures to the bar of most bar clamps with a T-knob. Street pricing starts at $8.

We use these as well as the varieties (”64″ series - like 641 and 643) made by Adjustable Clamp Company (makers of Pony and Jorgensen brand clamps). Some of these straddle the bar and have double screw handles - to apply clamping pressure on either side of the bar.
