It also allows you to balance a 48 incher on a small table top when
using for smaller projects. The new Bessey K bar support can't slide,
so it's needs a support surface at least as wide as the clamp.

The jaws are also noticeably larger and there are no serations on the
bar. I have both and prefer the Jorgies. Home Depot, as expected,
has just added the Cabinet Master to their growing line of Orange
(coincidence?) clamps, but has yet to try to clear out the K's. They
will probably sell out just fine on their own.

My concern is that Home Depot wants $3-$5 more per clamp for the
Cabinet Master than Fleet Farm across the street. Once the Fleet Farm
manager sees this, I'm expecting they'll raise their prices as well.

As Leon pointed out, not only can the jorgies be reversed, but they have a
little foot that raises the bar slightly off the work surface allowing the
clamping head to slide without having to lift the clamp itself as is
required with k-bodies.
