6" RATCHETING GUIDE RAIL TRACK CLAMP

This Universal Guide Rail and Table Clamp is designed for fast, secure clamping in guide rail profiles and compatible work tables. Modeled after the Bessey GTR16S6H, it provides a practical alternative for woodworkers, installers, and contractors who need reliable workpiece and rail positioning.

The ratcheting mechanism allows the clamp to be tightened quickly, helping reduce setup time compared with conventional screw-style clamps. Once secured, the clamping action is designed to resist loosening from vibration during cutting, routing, sanding, and other workshop tasks.

Forged steel arms provide strength and durability for regular shop and jobsite use. With a clamping capacity of 5.90" (150 mm) and a throat depth of 2-5/16" (60 mm), the clamp can be used for securing guide rails, clamping within compatible profiles, and holding workpieces to suitable work tables.

The clamp is designed for use with guide rails from brands including Festool, Makita, DeWalt, Hitachi, and Metabo. Compatibility should be confirmed using the listed rail section dimensions before purchase.

Compare with the Bessey GTR16S6H, commonly priced at $59 and up.
