Today, I made up a bunch of T-nuts in both 1/4" and 3/8" for all of the necessary workholding tasks.
In the near future, I'll be making a pair of low-profile toe clamps and a clamping bar, as well as a replacement for my hot-wire attachment. I will likely use the attachment mainly for making forms to use in lost-foam casing.
Hello MIKE
Firstly, why do 'they' describe U as a "Junior" when U are an experienced ol' Pro from the excellent projects we have seen U accomplish ??? Methinks that's an error and not right at all !!! Is there some explanation for this anomaly ???
Be that as it may for now, t'would be nice to see some WIP (work-in-progress) pics of the Low-Profile Toe Clamps U intend making together with the Clamping Bar. These Low-Profile type Clamps were quite expensive, ( converting 14.5 to the US $), when we last looked at them and they are indeed very handy whilst working on the Mill. Mr "Pixman" did recommend we get them the last time we were doing some mill work.
And we do take all advices seriously !!
Thanks for sharing and showing Your Clamps. It just says all is possible, one needs not dig too deep in the pocket, and yet enjoy the opportunity to 'make' one's own small Toolings. Am most certain others would be inspired as well.
Stay safe.
