Well, cauls have to be long enough, too.

When I made my cauls I was worried that separated sides would bend
(twist) more than they would if the two pieces were glued directly
together, so forgo the "infinitely" adjustable separation between
bolts. I put the panels to be glued at one end and then supplement
the more distant bolt with a clamp over the panel. I'd make the cauls
even thicker, if I did it again. Rigidity is everything.

You don't need to explain why you build jigs or tools. Building items for
the workshop doesn't need a justification.
Rigidity is everything... That;s what she said.
