New Improved Hold Down Clamp

General Information

I designed this one with the new features that allows it to act as a bump stop and a hold down clamp. It also allows for the Inventable screws to work from their clamp system. I also added two nuts for additional clamping power that I am still experimenting with. Hope you enjoy this project.

I made 2 of them and used 3/4 MDF. Love it, thanks!

Nice work!! I will try them later ! What screw lengths do you use to secure them on the board ? Thx
Hendrik Weber

I use several different sizes depending on the thickness of the project you are carving.

Will these work for the new board 1000x 1000mm screews 80mm spacing

I really love the design of these. I made a couple, but after they were done, I realized the distance between the slots where a few millimeters short of the 75 mm distance between the hole on my carve spoil board. Any guidance on what I can do to fix that? Thanks.

This was a great file!!!! Came out exactly as expected. I used inserts left over from my x-carve assembly, instead of the nuts though.

consider making a video showing how to find your projects in the Easel sandbox, I must have missed in your video saying what the name of this file was. I was looking for 80 mm clamp.

I have now made several. But resized to 45 mm on center for the 3018 Pro CNC. works better than anything else I have tried with our tight cramped space. I wish to provide my file to you to share if it is wanted. How do I post a photo to show you?

I made 6 of these. I made them out of 3/4 MDF but changed the depth to 3/8 instead of 1/4 to be more sturdy(in my mind) but left the top at 1/4. Thanks for the great idea and the use of your project.
