Universal Clamp
For at least the last hundred years, cabinetmakers have relied on iron bar clamps. With the advent of aircraft grade aluminum, we feel those heavy clamps are obsolete. The aluminum bar clamps we offer here are made with the finest quality aircraft grade aluminum, making them extremely strong, without the cumbersome weight of iron clamps. If you need any more clamping force than these clamps can provide, you need to go back and fit your work better, or you will be setting up internal stresses that will cause problems down the road. All of these clamps are made by Universal Clamp Company in Iowa. The name Universal Clamp Co. is not as well known in the market as the traditional clamp makers, however, their quality is truly unparalleled. The founder of Universal Clamp Co. spent much of his career in the California aerospace industry, in fact at one time both he and our founder were working as engineers at the same company, Litton Industries. Trust us on this one, these are the best and most useful clamps that any cabinetmaker could own.
UC 900 Adjustable Bar Clamp Series
- Each size can accomodate work up to the specified length (i.e. a 24" clamp will handle a 24" piece of work).
- All clamps have a moveable pad with spring action that lock in any of the punched slots that run the length of the bar.
- The clamps will sit upright so that work can be placed on the clamp.

Accessories for the UC-900 Series
The UC-905A miter attachment pieces slide onto the jaws of the UC-900 aluminum bar clamp. One side fits the outide of a miter and the other piece fits the inside. To span a square object two outside pieces can be used on one clamp. The working surfaces of the inside piece are covered with abrasive paper which helps for the clamp to pull joint tighter as the clamp is screwed tight.
