The best throat depths for clamps range from 2 to 12 inches depending on project size. Shallow depths (1–4 inches) suit small, accessible joints, while deeper throats (6–12 inches) reach farther into large workpieces. Selecting the right depth ensures firm pressure where needed without repositioning.
Throat depths can range from 1-1/2" in products like the Kreg Cabinet Face Frame Clamps to 3" in the Pony Jorgensen 12" Heavy Duty Steel Bar Clamp. The choice depends on your project requirements; smaller projects may benefit from a shorter throat depth for maneuverability, whereas larger projects might require a greater reach. A variety of options are available to suit different needs.
