Groomers Helper® on Ordering the Right Clamps:

NONSTANDARD TABLE DEFINED:

A nonstandard table has a tabletop that is more than 1-3/4 inches thick—it may be homemade, or a lighted grooming table, or a table that has a metal frame holding the top. The standard clamp is designed for use with a nonstandard grooming table ONLY and should not be used on a standard tabletop.

PURCHASE THE RIGHT CLAMPS:

Do not purchase a Universal Clamp if a Standard Clamp will work. The weakest parts of any clamp are the screw-in bolts that hold the clamp to the tabletop. Therefore, if you are using a Universal Clamp with a 1-inch-thick table, you will have over 2 inches of the screw out of the clamp and pressing into the table. This will allow any stress from the arm to be loaded onto the screws, increasing the likelihood of them bending. You should purchase the 1-inch Standard Clamp unless necessary.

If you have purchased this Universal Clamp in order to get past the table frame, but the tabletop itself is only 1-inch thick, we recommend adding additional support.

One solution that is common is to cut a 2″ x 4″ (1.5″ thick) the size of the clamp (6″) and place it between the table bottom and the cup washers on the top of the screws of the clamp. This will shorten the distance the screws go in and make it much harder for them to bend. Use a few drops of wood glue and this will keep the block in place.
