How is the REVO Jr. different from the full-size K Body REVO?

It uses a smaller, lighter rail and body but keeps true parallel jaws and 900 lb of force. The trade-off is less clamping capacity and a shallower throat than the full-size line.

What is the maximum opening and throat depth?

It opens to 24 inches with a 3-1/4-inch throat depth and 1-1/2-inch jaw width. That suits cabinet parts, frames and medium panels.

Will it hold panels square during glue-ups?

Yes. The jaws stay perpendicular to the rail, which is the point of a parallel clamp. Workpiece supports also keep glued material off the steel rail.

What comes in the box?

One KRJR-24 clamp and two workpiece supports. The clamp carries three removable pressure caps.

Can the pressure caps be replaced?

They are removable, so they can be swapped or set aside for glue-ups. Bessey sells replacement caps separately.

Is it strong enough for hardwood assemblies?

It delivers 900 lb of clamping force, which is ample for most furniture and cabinet joints. Very large or springy assemblies may need more clamps rather than more force.

What reviewers say

Owners of the REVO Jr. treat it as a genuine parallel clamp in a smaller package, praising square glue-ups and the lighter weight. Woodworkers note the shorter capacity limits it to smaller work, and some find the price high next to plain bar clamps.

About the Bessey K Body REVO JR. Parallel Clamp, 24"

The Bessey K Body REVO Jr. is a compact version of the full-size K Body REVO parallel clamp. It has a 24" clamping capacity and a 3-1/4" throat depth, and it produces 900 lb of clamping force.

The jaws are set at 90 degrees, so the clamping surfaces stay perpendicular to the rail for right-angle glue-ups. Large clamping surfaces spread the force evenly. Three removable pressure caps resist glue, paint and grease solvents. Two work piece supports hold clamped material off the steel rail.

The bar is steel, drawn at Bessey's own facilities in Germany.
