I need some miter clamps for a table I'm planning. Clamps will need to
hold 1.5" thick x 5" wide boards @ 45 degs. Since I will only be joining 2
such boards at a time (not 4, like a picture frame) the strap type clamps
won't work. I can't seem to find anything capable of accommodating such
wide stock. I saw these
http://www.woodcraft.com/family.aspx?FamilyID=4484, more of just a
precision angle bracket used with clamps, which I already have. Anyone have
experience with these, or have any recommendations for other miter clamps
capable of holding 5" wide stock?

TIA

I have used two methods with success. First, leave a cleat when milling,
then cut it off after clamping.

Second, is to hot glue or super glue a cleat then break it off after
clamping. You could also clamp a cleat on.
