Thread: Clamp Foot Plate

Have you seen that? Its some new contraption. What are your thoughts?
I have seen similar but actuated by air and bigger, have seen rollers. I wonder how to suck the chips so the bearing balls could roll. May be blow away constantly the dust. I see a possibility that this could be very useful if the dust is evacuated somehow.

Looks very similar to a very old design for keeping constant torch height for plasma cutting/marking thin plate when the machine did not have thc.

I'm thinking it could probably have uses on thin material where a vacuum bed is not available.

Exactly, I have more or less thought about the same thing/design in my head for working with thin wood sheets, 4, 6, 9mm ply and so on, this design isnt a bad one, for mine i considered bigger balls though and just LM type bearing units with round rail - manual adjustment.

These are the units I was thinking about, didn't get as far as size just "head thoughts" to date but it's not complex design...

Well for spring I thought about just putting some on the linear rail that supports those units, adjust the spring as needed...job done
