Product Information
Full details
The Neilsen F Type Clamp (600mm x 80mm) is designed for woodworkers and metalworkers needing to secure larger workpieces during various workshop tasks. Its primary benefit is the generous clamping capacity, allowing for work on thicker materials. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for heavy-duty workshop applications rather than delicate or fine finishing tasks. Key features include a 600mm clamping capacity, an 80mm throat depth, and a robust sliding bar mechanism for adjustable, secure clamping.

FAQs
What is the maximum clamping capacity?
The clamp has a maximum clamping capacity of 600mm.
What is the throat depth?
The throat depth is 80mm.
What materials can this clamp be used on?
It is suitable for wood, metal, and composite materials.
How do I adjust the clamp?
You can slide the jaw along the bar to the approximate position and then turn the handle to apply precise pressure.
Is this clamp suitable for fine detail work?
While it offers precise pressure adjustment, its large size and heavy-duty construction make it more suitable for general workshop tasks than extremely delicate or fine finishing work.
How should I maintain the clamp?
Keep the sliding bar and screw mechanism clean and apply a light coat of machine oil periodically to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
Troubleshooting
Clamp does not hold securely
Ensure the handle is fully tightened. Check the sliding bar and screw mechanism for debris or damage that may impede smooth operation. Clean and lubricate if necessary.
Sliding bar is stiff or difficult to move
Clear any obstructions or debris from the sliding bar track. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the track and re-test.
Jaws do not engage squarely
Manually align the jaws to ensure they are perpendicular to the workpiece before applying final pressure. Check for any damage to the jaw surfaces.
Pros and Cons

- Offers a substantial 600mm clamping reach for large projects.
- Deep 80mm throat depth handles thicker materials effectively.
- Durable, heavy-duty construction ensures longevity in trade settings.
- Sliding bar provides efficient and secure workpiece positioning.
- Suitable for a wide range of assembly and fabrication tasks.
Cons
- May be oversized for very small or intricate tasks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The clamp is ready for immediate use. To operate, slide the jaw along the bar to the approximate position needed. Then, turn the handle to apply precise clamping pressure. Ensure the jaws are square to the workpiece for even pressure distribution.
Compatibility:
This clamp is compatible with most standard woodworking and metalworking projects requiring secure holding of materials up to 600mm in length and 80mm in thickness. It is designed for use on wood, metal, and composite materials.
Care:
To maintain performance, periodically clean the sliding bar and screw mechanism with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Apply a light coat of machine oil to the screw threads and sliding surfaces to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation. Avoid exposing the clamp to excessive moisture or corrosive elements.
