Ideal for small to medium clamp carriers (6 to 20 sections), this unit simplifies the glue-up process with a honeycomb grid design that ensures accurate glue distribution while eliminating cleanup. Built with a durable aluminum grid and stainless steel glue pan, the JLT #138B Plate Spreader improves workflow efficiency, reduces waste, and delivers reliable bonding results for a wide range of panel and stock applications. JLT #138B Plate Spreader Applications Panel glue-ups for cabinet and furniture manufacturing Integration with clamp carriers (6 to 20 sections) Coating long and short wood stock with consistent adhesive coverage Step coating longer materials beyond grid length Perfect for shops seeking a simple, reliable, and low-maintenance glue application system for clamp carrier workflows. JLT #138B Plate Spreader Specifications Model #138B Grid Type Honeycomb Pattern Aluminum Grid Pan Material Stainless Steel Operation Foot Pedal (Mechanical) Standard Length 4' Available Sizes 8" × 48", 8" × 60", 8" × 72", 8" × 96" Compatibility 6–20 Section Clamp Carriers JLT #138B Plate Spreader Performance & Construction Honeycomb grid design applies the correct and consistent amount of glue across all surfaces. Foot pedal actuated system lowers the glue pan to expose the grid for fast and efficient application. Spring-loaded glue pan automatically returns to immerse the grid when the pedal is released. Aluminum grid with stainless steel pan ensures durability and long-term corrosion resistance. Complete mechanical operation eliminates the need for complex systems and reduces maintenance. No nightly cleanup required—simply apply water and cover the pan to maintain glue readiness. Supports step coating allowing longer stock to be evenly coated beyond grid length. Consistent and accurate application improves bond quality and reduces adhesive waste. Economical solution for improving glue application efficiency in production environments. Why Choose the JLT #138B Plate Spreader Simple, reliable design for consistent glue application. Reduces labor, waste, and cleanup time. Ideal for clamp carrier systems in small to mid-sized shops. Durable materials built for daily production use. Flexible sizing options for various applications. The JLT #138B Plate Spreader provides a practical, efficient, and low-maintenance solution for achieving uniform glue coverage and improving productivity in woodworking operations.
