Description

FYI:

I have sold my Shapeoko machine and have put a Onefinity CNC in my shop. It's a much better machine that uses all ball screws instead of belts and linear bearings instead of concentric v wheels. Because of this my support may be limited as I no longer have a Shapeoko machine. Check out Onefinity CNC at https://www.onefinitycnc.com and learn why I think it's a huge upgrade.



Multi-Function Clamp for threaded wasteboard



This is for the DIGITAL clamp files.





Materials used: MDF



What you get:

One .SVG file and one c2d file (carbide create software that comes with the shapeoko, but is free download for everyone and creates gcode that can be used on ALL CNC brands.)

These files are vector-based and compatible with all laser cut software, milling machine, CNC CNC plasma cutting machine



This clamp is ment for use on all 4 sides. It's a good solution for circular items needing to be held down also. The long slots allow for odd placement and alignment for different size and shaped stock.



I've included work holding tabs to secure the clamps while they get cut out. You'll have to cut them once your file is finished cutting. I like to use a multi-tool for easy removal. You'll use a 1/4 up-cut bit, to make all the cuts. If your not using that bit for some reason, make sure to use an up-cut bit, as you'll be drilling holes and a down-cut bit is never a good choice for hole drilling. It pushes the material down and you run the risk of starting a fire.

There is a hole within a hole in the center of the clamp. The larger, shallower hold will hold the washer, and the middle through hold will house the bolt. As always, make sure to use breathing protection and a vacuum when working with mdf!



Happy CNCing!

(Please note if you use an xcarve. holes will not line up with the xcarve wasteboard. Please cut out my wasteboard file and place it on top of the xcarve wasteboard)
