About this product
The Bessey CM40 light-duty drop forged C-clamp expands capacity to a 0 to 4 in. opening with a deep 3 in. throat depth, catering to larger metalworking, framing, and fabrication projects. Offering up to 1,300 lbs. of clamping force, it provides high-pressure holding capability across wider material dimensions.
Distinguishing itself from smaller CM models, the CM40 features a heavy-duty drop-forged steel frame protected by a durable black powder-coated finish. Its cold-drawn steel spindle with smoothly rolled threads ensures fluid travel and precise tensioning without galling. A steel sliding T-bar handle allows the user to apply high tightening torque in confined spaces, while a free-swiveling pad adapts to surface variations for secure, slip-free clamping.
