We all go through the process of learning how to hold projects on our Shapeoko’s. I have had my Pro 5.0 for 2 years and I’m still learning. After trying many options I realized I needed stiff, adjustable clamps in several sizes so I came up with a basic design that I could quickly modify and produce on my Shapeoko. They are made from 3/8 x 1” aluminum bar that I get from Amazon. I use 5/16” T-track bolts to provide vertical adjustment for different thickness stock. I cut them with a Carbide3D #278-Z O-Flute cutter. It’s easy to make you own. Matt

Interesting setup up on the threaded T bolt for height adjustment. Thanks for posting your idea!
That’s a pretty traditional approach for clamps — the clamps included w/ the Nomad threaded bed uses that, I usually use a nylon bolt to keep from marring the table.
