Work hold down

[EddyCurrent]

I'm planning to use a system like this bloke in the video, not so much what he's on about, just to look at his machine bed.
He has two T slots full length and one each side, four in total. It looks like he made those little clamping blocks from some kind of plastic/nylon but I'm thinking about making them from wood.

Also I plan to use a small vacuum table that will be clamped onto the machine bed.
With my pin router, double sided tape proved quite effective as did screwing the stock down onto a sacrificial piece that was clamped to the table.

I've never had clamps move but double sided tape has come unstuck before on small parts, mainly due to small 'glue' area and rough surface, so poor contact. Vacuum table is great if you have a decent pump.
