What is the maximum clamp capacity of the clamp on this jig? I am building a project with 1 7/8" square components.

The widest opening is 2 in. Don't know if it will clamp at 2", but does a super job at whatever the max width is. I had to use 2 1/2 " screws and put together a pretty heavy piece. I really like the device. It's my 2nd Kreg unit.

I like amend my previous answer. The jig cannot clamp two inches thick because the clamp needs about quarter of an inch play for the clamp to work.

I am unfamiliar with the Jessem Jig though from the product description Jessem Jig can work with a 4" piece of wood. Premium Doweling doesn't.

Not sure if I understand your question? This piece goes into the drilling jig. It is not a "stand alone" item that can be clamped to a board for use (although it possibly could, but not with the right angle clamp).

Inside on my sample is 1/8. Even if yours is measured as outside diameter thread will go through with lots to spare.

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

No, maybe 1/2 diameter maximum. Quite strong, I have to use two pliers to adjust the angle of the hooks.

The "magic arm" has a1/4-20 on each end. The clamp has 1/4-20 and 3/8 threaded sockets.

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

1-1/8 is the largest that is recommended. I have not had much luck with this tool, it's not up to usual Bosch standards

The max. capacity is nearly 2" -- but that's a very tight fit. Works on both round and flat surfaces. A plastic cable-tie can be inserted in the small slit opening on the jaws for maximum clamping power. Thanks.

Not good. I used a piece of 1x1 and a clamp on either end and it worked great! I love the saw.

Hi! The clamp opens to 2 1/8" (base) or 2 5/8' (top notch). The best you're going to clear in depth is 1 5/8". Hope this helps!

I do not have it in front of me, but I believe 1-1/8" max capacity is correct; it is primarily for copper pipes.

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.

I just measured a lever that I had loose. I tightened the screw all the way down to stop. The smallest the clamp will pull down is about .850-.860" which is about 21.84mm. On the wide side you can stretch it open to about .890" which is about 22.6mm. At those extreme dimensions the hole is no longer round. It was kinda sketchy going that tight, you might induce unwanted stress into the aluminum clamp that could fracture later when in use. It might work ok on an alloy bar within those dimensions but might pinch and crack carbon.

I've found that generally whatever the loom size says, it's usually the outer diameter. I can't check at the moment what the actual outer diameter of the 1/2" loom is, but I'd recommend that you go 1 size higher. So for 1/2" loom, you would want to get 5/8" clamps.

Hi Lisa. My clamps are one and a half inches and they come with rubber shims for a couple different sizes
