How thick of a table top will the clamp accommodate?

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.

We use ours on picnic table top made of 2 x 6's, but I'd have to say clamps open up wider than the 2 inches.

About 2" at least. We have a plastic picnic table so my husband put a piece of wood to support the clamp at each end so the stress of the clamp wouldn't crack the plastic. That works well. We REALLY LIKE the canopy top!

Yes. It will fit with plenty of room to spare. I assume you intend to use the clamp.

JOHN, looks like the clamp will fit anything from 1/3-8" to about 1/2". Standard formica type kitchen counter top is 1-1/2". Hope this helps. Wonderful machine. Enjoy, Chuck

Hi Nola_Girly. I just measured it to be 0.75" thick, so not a fit for that clamp.

Clamp range is 0" to 2-1/4". I bought mine for the Studio Designs drafting table. It is attached to the table's frame and it is rock solid. The clamp is not weak at all, and there is plenty of light if you place it over your work. Not sure what everyone else is complaining about.

The lower thumb screw part of clamp has a 1" diameter disc. The edge of the disc is set back approx. 3/16" from the c-clamp top. So you need about 1-3/16" lip/edge for a 'full' clamp fit,(i.e., 1" disc is fully attached to lip/edge). My desk has a 2" lip/edge which works great.

"C" clamps should work well. There is a side lip to get under to clamp from above and below table's surface.

The piece for the top of the clamp is wide enough and has some foam/rubber attached. I put a block of wood about 3" wide, 10-12" long, and about 3/4" deep on the underside. I glued a piece of foam from the craft store to the glass-facing side. It worked really well. What I meant to say was attach the rubber to the block to stop/reduce slippage and to avoid scratching the desk.

The maximum thickness of material that this jig can handle is 2-3/8 wide. I'm not sure I understand the 2nd part of the question of placing blocks under the clamp. If the concern is potentially drilling too far into your work piece, that should not be a problem. Based on the height of the clamps drill guide, I actually had to reduce how deep I normally place the bit in my drill to ensure a deep enough hold to accommodate the dowel.

I have it clamped to a desktop that is an inch thick. It could easily clamp to a thicker desktop. It works best if the edge is square and not beveled. Before the current desk I clamped the power strip to a folding plastic table that had a deeply beveled edge. It clamped on but was a bit loose. It also will work best if there is 1 1/2" to 2" lip on the desk top so the clamp can be seated firmly and securely.

I'm assuming you mean the table top is one inch thick - if yes then yes the "chop clip" style clamp will open that wide... I love this tray btw!!!

About 2 inches thick. I have mounted it to a 1 3/4 thick table. My table is polished slick and it walks off after moving it back and forth a few times. You might use some adhesive, top and bottom and don't tighten the clamp with the wing nut very tight.

The table is 44" wide, 20" deep, and 1.25" tall and 1 7/8" overhang from the body. I doubt you could clamp anything to it.

It depends on two things: 1) How thick your edge of table is. Clamps nicely up to if edge is up to 3/4 inch thick, maybe an inch. 2) Table has no lip. If the table is smooth bottomed, it will do great. If it has a lip, I would suggest heavy duty binder clips as alternative.

M.N. Most tables will have a gap between the table halves. The clamp is designed to be wide enough to connect both table halves and is over 1" wide. Thanks for considering STIGA!

I apologize about my last answer. I see now that the clamp has dual clamp adjustments. There is a screw that can be loosened to allow for large scale adjustment of the clamp in addition to the finger wheel. It looks like it can clamp tables up to 1.75 inches thick.

When you say "width" I'm a little confused. Do you mean offset from the edge of the table? I have mine clamped to a standard rectangular folding table that has a 1.75-inch offset from the edge to the metal frame supporting the table top. You don't have to drill, there's a clamp-and-wingnut that comes with it.
