What kind of claming system is everyone using to clamp vertically to the front of their Shapeoko 5.1 Pro? I’d like to use it for making dovetails and other joints on the end of my workpiece.

Here’s a picture of my cobbled together setup. Slides into the t track on the machine and holds up to 1" thick material in the pocket of the lower board.
Just finished cutting hand hold slots in a cutting board yesterday- works good.

Very nice setup. I really like the way you did the lower work piece support.

Very nice. That would work for some of the things I would like to do. I may also get myself a hunk of aluminum and machine myself a little vice set that will thread right into the holes on the front of the Pro X member. That was why I specified the Pro model, because it seems like they pre drilled all these holes so you can mount accessories to the front of the machine.
