T SLot Hold Down for Seig X1 mill

pinshape

I converted a Sieg X1 Super to CNC to produce parts in steel, aluminum, wood, and acrylics, but the process for holding material to be milled was overkill in many cases. I had a couple of cheap Chinese hold-down clamps on hand, so I designed this to be cut in metal on the mill, but after printing the prototype in PLA and testing the fit, it was again overkill. So now I'm using it to hold woods and plastics while milling. The fixings are four 8mm M3 or M4 screws and nuts. It took me two minutes to design in Tinkercad, making it easy to change for different-sized slot tables or clamps. This is a public design, so just search for "Hold Down Mount" on Tinkercad.
