No matter what the material you may be milling, there are few things more frustrating than not being able to hold it in place. You can try different ways of holding it but nothing seems to work. This leads to improper creation of the piece as well as more frustration in the end for you. In these cases, a steel clamping kit could be the key to making sure your work is as accurate and as perfect as possible.
Clamp Down with a Kit
These kits typically come with studs of numerous sizes to make sure your holes are a perfect size. They also come with flange nuts, which due to their shape make them less likely to loosen as a result of an uneven fastening surface.
Their design also allows the pressure of the nut to be distributed all over the part being secured and also reduce the chance of damage. Another great part of the kit is the forged steel clamps, which will support the flange nuts when holding the material in place. If the piece you are milling isnāt metal but wood these kits typically come with t-nuts, which are ideal for fastening.
Then so you donāt lose any important pieces, the kits come ready to be hung on the wall so you can make sure nothing will disappear.
