I will be using 2'x4"x8ft fir lumber. How handy is this clamp on lumber this large?

Hi Hollister, I've used this clamp many times on 2x lumber. I extended my side support wings by about 20" this helps add stability to the length of the workpiece. I also use the Kreg HD jig on 2x projects with the HD screws. I would highly recommend this product. If you don't already have them I would consider the automaxx clamps too. Hope this helps.

4 7/8" ... If you are mounting in wood, I would cut 4 3/4 and sand for a snug fit.

The Fasteners 18 gauge do not have much holding power. If you are building a 5/8" thick board nailed to a 2x4 I do not believe that will work. This tool is better suited for light mouldings and trim work.

I've uploaded a photo of the clamp. It shows the size of the clamp and measures the opening. The clamping space is UP TO 1and 1/2 inches wide. If the thickness if the item falls within this measurement then you should be able to clamp it.. Just be sure to also account for the width of the bottom spacer

I feel sure ya could use this nailer to put up the 1"x6 boards or 1"x4" boards, using 2" brads. It could not be used for the frame work. It is after all a finish nailer. If trying to keepanimals in or out I would not use this nailer. I've used mine to put 1"x2" boards together. It will sink the 3/4" boards good. Keep in mind this is a finish nailer.

I fist installed and bolted 2X6X8 foot treated lumber onto my trailer frame. Once this was completed I stained the lumber and let dry for a few days. I then mounted the TMS SN0301-3 to the lumber and front of the trailer frame. Works great, and makes the trailer versatile.

The clamp opens up to just under 3 inches. I think you would need a couple of turns of the clamping mechanism to be effective. Therefore the effective clamping thickness is 2 7/8 inches.

I don't know, I use it to support a 2" thick pine-2ft wide by 2fft long table extension, works reasonably well with a little sag.

It is up to you. I used a 4 X 4 wooden post that is working quite well. Best wishes.

A 2x6 or a 4x4. But this is really meant for detail trim work. I would use a cutoff saw with a fine blade for wood that size.

Should be ok. I've installed 8 ft tall 4x4 fence posts on top of railroad ties (actually bridge timber) using these. But it really depends on what you're building. If this is a fence where you'll have lateral support with 2x4 or other material, then you're ok.

The clamps that come with it would fit a 4" rail. Our railing is less than 2" wide so we had to "rig" the clamp with a block of wood to make it fit.

When you use a 2x4 and put the recommended plywood depth as a top, it's almost flush. I used 2x6's on the top piece and 3/4 inch plywood. If you did it that way, and depending on the depth and length, you can hang the top plywood over the edge of the structure far enough to have a clamping surface. Very easy. My bench is about 30 inches deep rather than 1/2 of an 8 foot 2x4 (48 inches). I did that so it would fit into a certain space. The directions (if I remember correctly) are for using minimum cuts on full pieces of plywood and 2x4's. You can plan and make it any size you want.

I have not cut a board that big with the saw. It will cut a 2 x 10 without any problem.

I personally used one to mill 24" rounds of redwood...The bracket fits a lil tight on a 24 so u may have to run it across a table saw

You should have no trouble with clamping to any overhanging table 2" thick or less

There is a hold-down bar that allows stock up to 4.5" wide. However, this piece can be removed and stock clamped down allowing up to 6.5" of workable surfaces. You would have to devise sides from 2X6's or equivalent with your clamps but should not be difficult.
