Dimensions needed for custom made fixture

[Bernd (Bernd Fanghanel)]

New to the forum but not the machining world. Learning how this forum works.

Ok, now on to the question. I’d like to make a holding jig that will replace the spoil board. I need the dimensions of the holes in the tabletop to make that aluminum jig. Where can I find those dimensions? Thanks in advance for any help.

regards,
Bernd

Nomad 883 threaded table and clamps

Okay, today’s project is making up some clamps since they are not included with the nifty Nomad Threaded table (and I’d like some metal ones to use w/ the T-track on my XL). Since the drawing for this doesn’t seem to have been made available, and I’m not inclined to wait for Monday to pester someone competent at support, I drew one up based on some rough measurements and the published table and wasteboard file: While it would be simple enough for anyone to superimpose a 1" grid of 5mm circle…

Not sure if:

is still up or no (I don’t use Fusion 360).

@WillAdams

Will, thank you very much. Exactly what I needed and was looking for. Much appreciated.

Also check out Saunders Machine Works plate if you’re interested in a more flexible work holding solution. Though if you’ve got the capability to machine your own I suppose it’s just leaving money on the table.

@HeuristicBishop

Thanks for the info. I have got sort of a small machine shop in the basement. I have a Bridgeport and 10" logan lathe so am capable of making my own jigs and fixtures. Also what helps was the over 30 years in the machine tool industry and a high interest in anything mechanical.
