Cutting Aluminum with Nomad without Lubricant?

[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

Plans for those here:

Bamboo Work Clamps made with Carbide Create

The Small Work Clamp design keeps evolving. This latest CC Design File includes step blocks! [image] If you want to make a set, you will need 4" x 7" x .5" thick material. Carbide Create File: 5 Small Clamps wiith step blocks.c2d (1.2 MB) Heres a Simulation Screenshot after adding a 5th clamp: [image] The Toolpathing View: [image] These are really useful and only require the double sided carpet tape and the .125" endmill. [image]

There are a few others floating around, and easy enough to work up one’s own, or to even make by hand (I went that route: Nomad 883 threaded table and clamps - #4 by WillAdams (scroll up to see the files if you wish to cut them on your machine)).
