Milling and CNC Machine Hold Down Clamps

[jjr2001]

I needed a few good clamps. Saw this type in several places including LMS and I think KBC as well as MSC.
They don't require packing and can be used with the pallets or T-Slots. Mine are designed for 1/4" bolts.
I use cap screws for my pallets so I stuck with them for these clamps.

Normally riveted but I had these brass screws and nuts in the shop so I thought that I could use them
and have the ability to change out the spacers for other types like brass or steel depending on the job.
The aluminum ones may have a flat face cut on them if desired. Aluminum sides were all cut on my CNC machine
after I made the new router mount. The new mount is a total success and makes the machine more rigid than with
the maple one that broke. The spacers were made on the lathe. The steel cross bolt was made using the mill and the lathe.

So here they are..Kinda look like little race cars!
