Bessey K-Body Revo Opening

[Jason Lester]

I've been using Pony Cabinetmaster parallel clamps for years. I need to get a few more, but they're out of business now. A Chinese company is selling them on Amazon now, but I'm leery of the quality. Everyone seems to say the Bessey's are the best, so I'm going to switch to them.

The Pony's open up about an inch wider than the model. So, a 24" model opens to about 25". Do the Bessey's do the same? There's nowhere local that I can check. I've needed that extra inch several times when building something 24" wide.

Thanks.

Hi Jason,
Happened to have my K-Body Revos out. Here’s my model #s and exact opening:

KRS.550 - 50”
KRS.531 - 33 1/8”
KRS.540 - 41 3/16”
KRS.524 - 25 1/4”

Hard to see any real pattern...hope this helps.

Great, thanks. The 24" and 50" models are the ones I need, so that will work fine for me.

Maybe no help as mine are old and not Revo. But mine open to 25.75"
