I have one here too but it isn't quite as straight as I would like, it will flex a little at the middle.
The clamps that came with it are probably two inches but I have used it with larger clamps to cut through three sheets of three quarter inch plywood in the past which is approaching the limit of my circular saw. At the price of plywood I generally measure half a dozen times then run into the bathroom at least once to restore comfort to punished bowels before rethinking and remeasuring one last time and engaging the blade. There is a better looking one out there somewhere I used to have a link to a site on my old dead computer but I haven't been able to locate it. I bought mine from our local Home Hardware store, I think though it is a uniquely Canadian chain.
