Look closely at the workings of a K Body. You will see hardened steel, locking set screws, steel guide rollers and steel anchor pins - the visible part of the mechanism that makes the K Body work. There are also precision internal elements that are not visible. All components are critical to the mechanism which was protected by patent for ten years and is at the heart of the accuracy of the K Body. Without any of them, the K Body would simply not stay parallel … and NO other clamp on the market uses this system to ensure parallelism.
Bessey, which started as a steel mill in 1889, is respected for producing legendary, high quality German steel. The components that make the K Body both accurate and distinct are produced in Bessey's own in-house steel making facilities.
