Thread: Great Besey Clamp Order 2009

Thanks for that Waldo
I'll add to my wish list;
4 extenders,
1 set KP blocks
If available.

Thanks, John.

A note to those ordering KP Blocks....the N American website of Bessey says this:

Note: KP Blocks will come in 2 pieces - an upper and lower piece. The lower piece
is the standard KP Block for the classic K Body® style while the addition of the lower
piece raises the KP Block for use with the K Body® REVO™ (KP Block adaptor).

So, if you are ordering REVOs and KP Blocks, it seems you should order the KP Block adaptors as well.

I thought that the origional K bodies had been discontinued & had been replaced with the revo model.

So i guess we just have to make sure we are ordering the correct KP blocks.

Unless its at all possible to still get the original (and best ever) K Body clamps, I wont be getting any of these Revos. Why on earth would they stop making such a robust, versatile precise clamp and replace it with these things...slip off rubber pads, give me a break.

I use my K body's every day at work (Joinery, Shopfitting, Cabinetmaking), and I have never used a better clamp than these.

Read these threads on the Revos.

I'm interested in:

2x Revo 300mm
4x Revo 600mm
3x extenders

btw, I live near Canberra, but travel regularly to Sydney, so could pick up from either location.

Hi all,

Just a quick note, the old k-body clamps have been replaced with the k-body "Revo" clamps. It is the revo clamps that you will get with this bulk order as the old k-bodies are no longer made. For those of you that have specified K-100 or K-??? then I am assuming it's the revos you are after. According to Bessey the Revos are an improved version of the old k-bodies. Indeed I was a little sceptical until I went down to carbatec and took a good look at the revos. They indeed look to be an improvement (in my opinion) - they look to be just as tough and accurate as what I already have in the k-bodies.

Ciao,

M.

Well that just bites. Good thing I bought a bunch last time.

Hi.

KR60 x 2
KR100 x 2
KR150 x 2

Brisbane pick-up.

Thanks
Bob.

Hi All,

Any other tentative orders, please get them to this thread by the end of Monday (9/2) so I can get rough numbers and get going on getting firm quotes from suppliers. I hope to have firm numbers for everyone by the end of next week or early the following week depending on how quick I get the various quotes in. As per last time, when I get the quotes I will pick the supplier based on whoever gives us the best price.

Ciao,

M.

Hey Mark,

There is always something to learn in this world! I'll chase this up when I start going to suppliers for quotes.


Ta,

Hello again,

I better have some KP block adaptors to add to my list, please.

With regard to the "K" series clamps, I understand the clamps will be Bessey's current models not the "K" series. I was going to use the numbers in Bessey's document:

The K-body revo's look very similar to the Jet parallel clamps. I have some of them and they are fantastic. Don't have any K-bodies though, but I reckon they'll be just as good as the Jet's. Hey I'll take discounted good quality clamps any day!!

Cheers,

WILL

This time around it will just be some extenders please Martin. (So much self restraint being exerted here team you wouldn't believe!)(Saving for a cruise)

4 each or 2 pairs however the come.

Thanks
