Hello everyone.
Bill I do like those cam clamps but Tim is correct you DO loose a lot of room
using those kind of clamps, (even Legacy's cam clamps)
Because of this reason, I like to use a wedge clamping type of hold downs,when
Im working on my flat work on the Legacy.
Its realy very simple to make and use.
Just glue and screw down a wooden straight edge on one side of your flat bed.
then drill a number of holes for an adjustable edge,(like you would do for a
bench dog.) and make another rail that can fit into the holes that you just
made.
The over all goal is to get the two rails close enough to the work piece, so
that you can use a sets of wooden shims to wedge the work piece in place.
I've made two different types of of this method over the years.
One uses two groves, so the straight edge can slide into place before wedging.
and the other uses an old band saw blade re-set into both edges to the wood
rails. the saw blade teeth are going to opposite directions so the wood is not
only wedged into place but the teeth also hold the wood firmly.
I will see if I can find pictures of these board set ups.
But I need to go now.
have a good night.
C.A.G.

You would loose some table capacity because the cam clamps take over an inch
of material to mount in. They are pretty low profile.
