I'm waiting on my new CNC machine to be delivered, so I have a lot of time to browse and learn. I've seen some of the videos on youtube that show homemade hold downs made of wood. It seems to me that the wood hold down would be both more forgiving than aluminum if accidentally hit, and cheaper to purchase and replace. Looking on Amazon, the aluminium ones run $20-25 per pair. Of course, there would be some cost associated with the t-bolts and knobs but maybe homemade would be much better than store bought.
Does anyone have a plan or drawing for those? The plans on the internet seem to be made for table saw situations and rise 3 plus inches above the work surface. I saw some on the videos that are more suited for CNC. I can make a design, but I'm assuming that some of you guys have juggled this and refined it.
If you can point me in a general direction, I would be appreciative.:smile:
