Flat Bars

Using straight, wooden boards to keep glued up panels flat during clamping is a time tested technique to counter act the warping caused by bar and pipe clamps. Woodpecker Flat Bars accomplish this task better than any piece of wooden.

These heavy-duty, 1” x 1-1/4” solid aluminum bars withstand enormous forces without distortion. They're ideal for keeping panel sections perfectly flat and aligned as glue sets. Their anodized surface will not oxidize like steel clamp bars can when it comes in contact with water based glues.

One set of Clamp Bars consists of a top and a bottom. The bottom bar has two protruding threaded rods while the top has machined slots in each end. The starting slot is longer than the other, thus allowing installation of the upper bar without having to completely remove either clamp knob.

Woodpecker Clamp Bars are now available in three different sizes, 18”, 24” and 36”. That dimension is the largest panel width that can be clamped. Actual bar length is approximately 2” longer than their capacity. The 36” has an additional clamp position to better accommodate 24” wide panels.

(Custom Sizes: If you need longer flat bars, they're available for $3.00 per inch per set. Minimum two sets. Please allow 4 weeks for machining and delivery. Please call 1-800-752-0725.)
