Q: Does this clamp come with the bars?
No, the set includes one head and one tail clamp only, and you drill 3/4" holes in your own straight stock to make the bars.
05G1601 - Panel Clamp
Bowed panels can be a thing of the past. This Veritas product is the most effective panel clamp available. It is easy to use, tightens by hand, and is stackable for production work. Best of all, you can make double clamp bars of any length to suit your own needs.
The specially serrated posts grip the bars, keeping a panel flat under any pressure load without allowing the bars to lift. Bars can be made by drilling 3/4" diameter holes in straight stock. 2 × 2s are fine, but 2 × 4s let you stack panels, since there is room for the top of one post and the bottom of another in the same hole. Adjustable O-rings on the posts let you clamp anything from 5/8" to 2" thick without any shimming; the clamp pads can be set dead center on the stock. The secret to the system is the balanced tension exerted on the bars. The greater the pressure, the more rigid the bars become. The screw has 5" of travel.
The panel clamp set, with one head and one tail, does not include the wood.

Yes, using 2 × 4 bars leaves enough room in each hole for one panel's post and the next panel's post, so you can stack them for production runs.
No, adjustable O-rings on the posts accommodate stock from 5/8" to 2" thick without any shimming.
This veritas panel clamp's serrated posts and balanced bar tension are built specifically to keep a panel flat under pressure, rather than just squeezing two faces together like a general-purpose bar clamp.
