Non-spoiled spoilboard

[rtibbs]

Since switching from the traditional screw the part down to clamp the part down I have been pleased with the results.
I made the wood clamps from Maple and purchased the brass rod for making the studs. I then had to come up with a way to store the various components.

This is my new setup

Case from BB pine

PS, I have a stock of 1/16 Aircraft Plywood to use underneath when cutting through. Haven't dinged the spoilboard since

Nice setup with the inserts Ron!
Are those the flanged EZ zinc inserts in the slight counterbore?
Is that plywood Cutting Area, or larger?

The reason I ask about the cutting area, is mine is almost like yours, and I use PU glue and add
a piece of MDF(.25"?) and then just run my cutting area profile,

and my hole pattern again.

(the PU glue is good because as it reaches the holes, it foams up, and easy to pick out)
That way I can skim cut MDF many times to stay perfectly flat,
and just glue on a new one when it gets thin, and recut holes/edge.
On my third glue up now, and nice to know the cutting area was trimmed/skimmed by the machine.
When I slide fences up against the MDF, I know it's X0,Y0.
And with furniture connection bolts, They don't Budge.
Easy to use low profile cam clamps also.

Just yattering as caffeine hits.
NICE setup for small machines Ron,
BUT you might have to make another fancy box for the new stuff!
To bad you don't have a nearby horizontal surface to chuck stuff on...
So you have to Search for it like me!

Well Done!

Thanks Scott
Yes the inserts are flanged and recessed slightly
I used ply rather than MDF and so far it’s remained stable . I would have used MDF however the stuff they sell around here is IMHU soft crap.
