Can I add wood to the clamps to give them a larger surface?

I know it looks like a giant clamp, but it isn't. It is basically a light stand with a light clamp at the center of the "jaws". The "jaws" are a light sheet steel, so it would be nothing to drill holes to hold some wooden sides. In fact, the screw center clamp only closes to 1", so if you wanted the stand to hold, say 1/4" ply, you would have to add a piece of 3/4" stock to fill the gap.

Yes. In fact I find that I have to create, then screw on, or C-clamp extra wood for stability. But, the JawStands clamp, itself, is only 2 3/8" wide.

You will need clamps. But read reviews for product before you buy. Just sayin'

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.

I am not sure what you are trying to do so more info may help.It sounds as you may be extending the width of the table ?if so it would be possible to screw down the clamps upside down ,you would need 2, and then pull the extension board tight to the existing system.If this is not what you're looking for ,supply more information and maybe one of us can help....John

You can add more bars that clamp to make the surrounding bars but as long as its properly tied down these are made to work even if you only have two bars.

I don't use the clamps that came with the saw, I use regular C clamps. I glued a piece of wood underneath so the bottom flange doesn't get in the way. I'm really happy with the saw, it works great and it looks like modern art.

I think a 5" post would be pushing the limits of the clamp width. I would step up to the larger size.

It depends on the size of the squares. I extended my table top by adding, with screws, 2X4s across the end pieces to create a 4X8 table. I used 2X3s eight feet long, to create a frame, for the length. I then screwed (4) 2X4 1/2 plywood panels for the top itself. I would say with in some way or another it could be done. It may need backing of some kind like I used.

I measure a max width of 2-3/8 inches, so for larger you'll have to improvise with c-clamps.

Hello, yes you may. Also check how tight the clamps are, maybe they are to tight or just needs a little grease/WD40. Thank you

No problem, just be sure that your fasteners are attach to studs or thick wood... Enjoy

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

you would need a long piece of laminate. but yes, the limitation is on width not length.

No, but if they have notches, 2 X 4's will fit in them, allowing plywood to be screwed to them.

the seal might not work on certain tops like wood that is not treated...clamp just gives you more options!

I found some on e-bay. Harbor freight also has some. I also have made custom clamps from cutting up heavy hinges.

If I understood you correctly, yes you can. All the supports are not fixed in any way. You can adjust the height and width quite easily. I screwed down the supports to my wood rails at ease. I am not at all handy - if I can do it, I bet you can too.
