BESSEY® Inline Toggle with Angled Base Plate – 3/8-in. Clamping Capacity Qty: 1
The BESSEY® Auto-Adjust Inline Toggle Clamp with Angled Base Plate provides fast, secure clamping while automatically adapting to variations in workpiece height. With a 3/8-in. clamping capacity and a compact inline design, the BT-IHA15 is well suited for woodworking jigs, fixtures, production tooling, assembly applications, and other projects where repeatable clamping is important.
Unlike conventional toggle clamps that require manual adjustment for different workpiece heights, the BESSEY® Auto-Adjust system automatically compensates for variations while maintaining consistent clamping force. This makes it easier to clamp workpieces of different thicknesses quickly and securely, helping improve efficiency and consistency in both small-scale and production environments.
Key Features and Benefits
- Automatic height adjustment – The self-adjusting mechanism adapts to variations in workpiece height, reducing the need for repeated manual adjustments while maintaining clamping force.
- 3/8-in. clamping capacity – Designed for compact clamping applications where a smaller working range is ideal.
- Inline toggle design – The inline configuration provides a space-efficient setup for jigs, fixtures, and tooling where mounting space may be limited.
- Angled base plate – The angled mounting base provides additional installation flexibility for a variety of fixture and workholding configurations.
- Adjustable clamping force – An integrated clamping force adjustment screw allows the applied force to be tailored to the application.
- 450 lb. holding capacity – Provides substantial holding power for demanding workholding applications.
- Ergonomic handle – The large, heat-resistant handle with a soft insert is designed for comfortable operation and reduced hand fatigue.
- Durable construction – Sturdy, tempered metal components are designed to withstand repeated use and provide a long service life.
- Corrosion-resistant finish – Nickel-plated surfaces help resist corrosion and extend the working life of the clamp.
- Flexible mounting – The base plate uses mounting holes compatible with 3/16-in. or M5 fasteners, providing flexibility for imperial and metric installations.
Designed for Flexible Workholding
The BESSEY® BT-IHA15 combines automatic adjustment, adjustable clamping force, and a compact inline configuration in one versatile toggle clamp. Its angled base plate makes it particularly useful for custom fixtures and applications where the mounting surface or clamp position requires additional flexibility.
The automatic adjustment feature helps streamline repetitive work by accommodating variations in material thickness without requiring the operator to reset the clamp for every workpiece. This can provide safer operation, more consistent applied force, and greater flexibility when building jigs or production fixtures.

Proposition 65 (formally titled "The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986") is a California law that has been in effect since 1986 to promote clean drinking water and keep toxic substances that cause cancer and birth defects out of consumer products. It is administered by Cal/EPA's California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). Proposition 65 regulates substances listed by California as causing cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm in two ways. The first regulatory arm of Proposition 65 prohibits businesses from knowingly discharging listed substances into drinking water sources, or onto land where the substances can pass into drinking water sources. The second regulatory arm of Proposition 65 prohibits businesses from knowingly exposing individuals to listed substances without providing a clear and reasonable warning.
BESSEY branded products do not, to the best of our knowledge, expose individuals to harmful substances as listed by the Cal Prop 65 Legislation.
WARNING: Drilling, sawing, sanding or machining wood products can expose you to wood dust, a substance known to the State of California to cause cancer. Avoid inhaling wood dust or use a dust mask or other safeguards for personal protection. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/wood.
