I thought of putting some pem inserts into the rotary table so you could do what you are saying. I just never got around to either needing to making it happen.
Another thought I will pass on that low profile clamps will work better than many of the larger knobs sold by rockler. At least be careful when cutting. I have posted on sever low profile clamps in this group. I forgot where you landed in Oregon, care to remind me.
