CMT PGC-50 Straight Edge Clamp 50 Inch

Overview

Stretching about 50 inches with a compact 3.14 by 3.14 inch bar, the CMT PGC-50 clamp weighs in at 1.52 kilograms (about 3.3 lb).

At 50 inches, this sits at the long end for a bar or panel clamp, built for spanning wide glue-ups or panel assemblies rather than small parts. The 3.14 by 3.14 inch bar cross section is fairly compact for that length, which keeps the overall weight down to 1.52 kilograms despite the reach.

• 50 inch length
• 3.14 x 3.14 inch bar
• 1.52 kg (about 3.3 lb)

Who it's for

Woodworkers gluing up wide panels or doors, where a 50 inch reach matters, are the right buyer for this clamp. It is not the right size for small clamping jobs, where a shorter clamp would be easier to handle.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The 50 inch length is the defining spec here, giving it reach across wide panels or door assemblies that a standard 12 to 24 inch clamp cannot cover. At 1.52 kilograms, the 3.14 by 3.14 inch bar keeps the tool manageable for its length, though no clamping force figure is listed to confirm holding pressure.
