Festool FSZ 120 Fastening Clamp Set 120mm 2 Piece
At a Glance: Two robust solid-steel clamps with a 120mm clamping width for securely fixing Festool guide rails, workpieces and system accessories.
Achieve accurate, controlled results with the Festool FSZ 120 fastening clamp set. Designed as an integral part of the Festool system, these traditional screw clamps fit into the clamping grooves of compatible guide rails, multifunction tables and selected Festool machines. They provide the dependable holding force required to prevent guide rails and workpieces from shifting during precision sawing, routing, sanding, assembly and installation work. Each clamp features a durable solid-steel construction, an ergonomically shaped wooden handle and a soft protective pressure cap that grips securely while helping to protect the workpiece surface. With two clamps included, the FSZ 120 set makes it easy to secure both ends of a guide rail or stabilise a workpiece for safer, more repeatable processing.
The specialised clamp head is shaped to engage with compatible Festool system grooves and profiles. This enables the same clamp set to be used for securing FS/2 and FS/2-KP guide rails, FSK cross-cutting guide rails, workpieces on an MFT multifunction table or mobile workshop, and suitable components on selected semi-stationary saws. The 120mm clamping width offers a practical balance between compact handling and useful capacity for everyday workshop and installation applications.

Extra Information
- The FSZ 120 is supplied as a pair, allowing both ends of a guide rail to be secured.
- The stated 120mm measurement refers to the maximum clamping width or capacity.
- The clamp head is designed to slide into the compatible lower groove of a Festool guide rail, keeping the upper working surface clear.
- Clamping pressure is adjusted manually through the threaded screw and wooden handle.
- The soft pressure cap should be kept clean to maintain grip and avoid transferring dirt onto finished surfaces.
- Guide rails, multifunction tables, machines and workpieces are not included.
- For thicker materials or applications requiring additional reach, select a compatible Festool clamp with a larger clamping capacity.
Pro Tips
- Use one FSZ 120 clamp near each end of the guide rail to minimise movement and maintain consistent alignment throughout the cut.
- Position the clamps where they cannot interfere with the saw, router, power cable, extraction hose or cutting path.
- Clean dust and chips from the guide rail groove before inserting the clamp head so that it can slide and seat correctly.
- Tighten each clamp gradually and alternate between both ends to avoid pulling the guide rail out of alignment.
- Apply only enough force to secure the workpiece. Excessive pressure may mark delicate material or distort thin components.
- For finished or highly delicate surfaces, place a clean protective layer between the pressure cap and the workpiece if additional protection is required.
- Before making a cut, gently test the guide rail by hand to confirm that neither end can move.
- Wipe the steel bar and threaded spindle after dusty work and keep the thread clean for smooth adjustment.
How to Use
- Place the guide rail, workpiece or accessory in the required position and confirm the cutting or working line.
- Check that the clamping surface and compatible system groove are clean and free from dust, chips or damage.
- Slide the specialised clamp head into the lower guide rail groove or appropriate Festool system clamping position.
- Move the clamp along the groove until the pressure cap is positioned securely beneath the workpiece or against the required clamping surface.
- Turn the wooden handle clockwise until the pressure cap makes full contact.
- Tighten the clamp evenly until the guide rail or workpiece is firmly held, taking care not to overtighten.
- Install the second clamp at the opposite end and recheck the alignment before beginning work.
- Confirm that both clamps are clear of the tool, blade, cutter, extraction hose and power cable.
- After completing the operation, wait for the power tool to stop completely before loosening the clamps.
- Turn the handle anticlockwise, release the pressure and carefully slide the clamp out of the system groove.

Safety
- Wear the appropriate eye, ear and dust protection when using the clamps with power tools.
- Inspect each clamp before use and do not use it if the steel bar, spindle, handle, clamp head or pressure cap is bent, cracked, loose or damaged.
- Confirm that the clamp head is fully engaged in the compatible Festool groove before tightening.
- Ensure the guide rail and workpiece cannot move before starting the power tool.
- Keep the clamps clear of blades, cutters, moving machine components and the intended cutting path.
- Do not exceed the 120mm clamping capacity or force the clamp onto an unsuitable profile.
- Do not use extension bars or tools on the wooden handle to generate excessive tightening force.
- Support large or heavy workpieces independently; these clamps are intended for positioning and securing, not lifting or suspending loads.
- Switch off and disconnect the power tool before repositioning the guide rail, workpiece or clamps.
- Store the clamps in a clean, dry location to help prevent corrosion and damage to the threaded mechanism.
