I agree I think the bandsaw blade idea would work if you trim the work later or
glue a border on
I'm imagining the blades are glued in in some way .
but they sure would dig in and hold the work

I tried adding sandpaper to some slotted mdf brackets used to hold wood, and
the work had a tendency to still lift out. The block where too simple they did
nothing to address holding the part down, only sideways pressure to hold the
wood from sliding during the cut.
I'd like to know how the band saw blade was held as well. You could leave an
extra 1/8" where the blade dents the wood and just trim it off. I guess the
damage depends on the aggressiveness of the blade. How about using a hacksaw
blade. Those have holes on each and of the blade that can be pinned or
screwed. Those would not leave much damage and probably have some pretty good
grip. I'd be tempted to try that, and when you make the cut for the saw blade,
add a 5ยบ downward tilt so the work is being driven down when the worked is
clamped. That would be my two cents worth.

very interesting curt thank you I understand now how it works. your other
idea with the pieces of bandsaw blade how does that go with leaving marks in
the job edges and how do you hold the blades from moving in the reset slot or
do they hold ok instead of bandsaw blades how would sand paper go glued to the
edge of the rails

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.
