Hold It Right There: CNC Router Tips Podcast Episode 69 Season 2:
CNCRT69S2

How will you hold it, right there? In episode 69 of the CNC Router
Tips podcast, host Bill Griggs examines Work holding solutions for
CNC Router Tables. How you hold your work piece securely to the
work table is crucial to your success. Hold It there fast and
secure for repeatability.

There are many types of workholding solutions used with CNC Router
tables. These solutions include the following:






Vises: Vises are a versatile workholding option that can
clamp workpieces of varying sizes and shapes. They come in
various configurations, including standard vises, multi-axis
vises, and self-centering vises.

Clamps: Clamps are a simple and effective workholding
solution that can be used to secure workpieces to the CNC router
table. They come in different sizes and shapes, such as C-clamps,
toggle clamps, and screw clamps.

Vacuum Tables: Vacuum tables use suction to hold workpieces
in place, providing a secure grip without the need for clamps or
vises. They are ideal for holding thin or irregularly shaped
workpieces and can be customized to fit specific job
requirements.

T-Slot Tables: T-slot tables have a series of slots that
allow for the use of T-nuts, which can be used to secure
workpieces in place. They are versatile and can accommodate a
wide range of workpiece sizes and shapes.

Fixture Plates: Fixture plates are used to hold multiple
workpieces at once, increasing efficiency and productivity. They
are typically made of aluminum or steel and can be customized
with various hole patterns and clamping options.

Collet Chucks: Collet chucks are used to hold round or
cylindrical workpieces securely in place. They come in various
sizes and can be used with different types of collets, including
spring collets and dead-length collets.

Pallet Systems: Pallet systems allow for quick and easy
workpiece changes, reducing downtime and increasing efficiency.
They consist of a series of pallets that can be loaded with
workpieces off the machine, allowing for continuous machining
operations.

Painters Tape and CA Glue provide a surprisingly strong bond
that will hold a workpiece to the spoil board.
