First I took the factory MDF bed and routed out some dado slots and added T-track from Rockler

Then I got some T-slot from 80/20 and replaced the MDF bed

You can buy aluminum clamps from Rockler or cut your own from hardwood scraps. This works best if you have other than "standard" needs.

Just drill a hole and slip a carriage bolt in the track, put the clamp on the bolt, and tighten it with a threaded knob or a plain old nut.

honesttjohn,

Would you mind telling me what brand and size your C N C is? We have a small unit now and thinking of upgrading to a larger machine. Any help or thoughts along this line would be appreciate.

Thanks,

Frank,

Probotix Nebula. I put a couple cross members in to help stabilize the bed. With that being said - I could have gotten away with the Meteor for what I've done ......so far. That will probably be my second machine unless I do something really stupid and decide to get serious about all this.
