CNC Clamp

thingiverse

This is a reliable and efficient clamp with a locking top piece designed specifically for your CNC machine. It accommodates bolts with M5 or M6 diameter. The locking wedge piece on top prevents any back-and-forth movement from occurring. A low-profile lip allows dust collectors to pass over it easily. I print these clamps on their side, using five outlines or shells and 80% infill for a solid result. Supports are used for the "slot". You can view a video about this clamp at https://youtu.be/Z5xhvEoZ5Ys. Added to the design were a clamp and wedge with a 7mm hole in January of 2019, followed by an addition of a clamp and wedge with an 8mm hole in February of that same year. In January 2020, there was a minor update made to the design. To see further updates to this design, visit https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4182036.
