How thick is the table top and is it the same thickness from the edge to the interior? I would like to place a c-clamp on the edge to attach tools.

It is molded plastic. The edge is thicker for about an inch. Under the interior of the table, it has a molded grid-like pattern of thick and thin plastic. I do not think it would work for attaching tools that would put any stress on the table when being utilized, such as a vice. It is a wonderful counter-height table that can be used for crafting, sewing, etc. I'm sure the other 2 heights are useful as well, but I needed a counter-high surface.

The edge is 2 inches thick. It does vary on the underside, but it looks like you can clamp right on to the frame for more stability.

The table top is only about1/2 inch thick and the edge is 2 inches. It is great for crafting and quilting, but I don't think it is strong enough for tools.

No. Sadly that was very similar to my issue and wouldn't clamp for my table. It pretty much has to be a flat surface like pictured or it won't work. If I was in your situation -- I wouldn't buy it. Best of luck though.

The clamp has an adjustable back plate that should accommodate a 2 3/4 desk. I measured the back plate and it 4 1/2 long. During installation you just mound the screw plate to the set of hole in the back plate that is the best fit for you desk thickness and then just tighten down the thumb bolts.

There is a clamp. You can't actually see it in the picture because it fits to the bottom of the grey base and secures it to the edge of a table or a counter. Overall, the clamping mechanism is all metal and very solid. Hope this helps. Cheers.

The clamp goes about 5" under the desk, length wise. It allows about 4" thickness of desk/clamp total. Does that make any sense?

Yea the actual wood table top is 1" thick there should be no problems mounting a vise to it.

The clamp mechanism on the underside is fully adjustable -- you can definitely clamp to a 36" table. The end with the clamp handle stays in place, the other end can be slid across the entire underside of the straightedge.

Yes, the clamp is included and is adjustable to be able to clamp onto a 2-3" thick table top.

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.

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.

Push the end of the clamp in that little hole and attach it to a table. But I have never used it that way. There are rubber pads underneath it so you can just hold it on a counter, or table, and use it that way. Just put your hand on the top as you're sharpening and it won't move.

Our table is a two piece that sets on top of a pool table, and it is about 1/2" thick. It works great on ours.

About three inches. The best way to attach, I believe, is to wait for the delivered vise and then plane a piece of hard maple to pad out your top thickness (if that is the concern). I have a 1.5 inch thick maple shop table and did that. You can also recess the thickness of the back jaw into the table edge. This allows you to clamp against the vise jaw and table edge for the entire length. Long boards can be balanced and clamped with a pipe clamp on the other end of the table. This is a great vise.

The center of the clamp screw on the bottom is about 1 1/2" in from the inside of the back of the clamp. The top post starts 1" in from the edge of the back of the clamp. If you have a beveled edge, you might consider a sturdy piece of wood on top of the table to clamp the stand to should keep it from wobbling. The total depth of the clamp is 3 3/4". The height can be adjust quite a bit, so thickness shouldn't be an issue. Hope that helps.

If you have a "lip" underneath your wooden table then the clamps won't touch the wood. The clamp apparatus extends over the "lip" but it doesn't actually touch the wood. The chair still is attached firmly when we use it. Hope this helps answer the question.
