It needs a 3/4" diameter hole (maximum 0.78"), and the post drops straight in before the clamp knob is tightened to wedge it in place.
Yes, this surface clamp's wedging post anchors equally well horizontally or vertically, which is what lets it work in a sliding jig as well as on a benchtop.
The arm clamps stock from veneer up to 3 3/4" thick, or 3 1/8" when the post collar is used as a depth limiter for thinner material.
Yes, it's best to orient the post so the wedge expands parallel to the grain in the benchtop rather than across it, which helps avoid splitting weaker material.
A blind hole only needs to be 1 3/8" deep, or the post can go through material as thin as 5/8", depending on how the clamp will be anchored.
