Work Holding Tape/glue

[Washout]

Hi

I have used tape only on rosewood fretboards and maple necks (and aluminium) - see here: and

I think the holding power of tape is probably more to do with depth of cut than material hardness per say (I'm no expert) and over a certain depth I tend to use screws into a sacrificial plywood bed if possible or clamps if I'm not going through the material.

I agree there, I was testing a 6mm end mill, doing 3mm DOC at 600mm/m and the wood was moving. I was probably going a bit fast there
