Is 900 lb of clamping force realistic?

Bessey rates the clamp at up to 900 lb, the same figure as its full-size Revo. That is more than enough for most cabinet and furniture glue-ups.

Will the jaws stay square during a glue-up?

Bessey states the jaws clamp at an accurate 90 degree angle, which is the point of a parallel clamp. Check squareness on scrap before a large panel glue-up.

Who should buy the Jr. instead of the full-size Revo?

Buyers who work mostly on smaller panels and want less weight to carry and hang. For deep or long glue-ups, the full-size Revo with its longer capacity and deeper throat fits better.
