    Hi all, haven't been on for a while.

    Ok... I'm using the work piece I am doing right now as an example.

    Click image for larger version.  Name: ex.bmp  Views: 256  Size: 467.7 KB  ID: 11365

    The points are for drill holes (4mm x 5mm deep ) to except a bolt.
    The material is 6062 T6 ALI. 76x76 x 20mm
    I am pocketing around the outside (20mm deep) instead of a profile for less stress on my small machine.

    Question is, how do I clamp this without cutting the clamps or without a vacuum bed ?. If I had through holes I guess I could clamp it down with bolts, but I am coming across this issue very often. How do I do it ?
