Step clamp |
Jun. 21/2020 I made a step clamp for cutting small materials with a table saw. It can work safely with this..Drawing |
1.The step block was made of Japanese ash. Make the stairs by partially cutting with a table saw. |
2.The arm is a glued laminated wood. Counterbore with 20mm fastener bit. This is the space where the M8 nut of the stud bolt retreats. |
|
3.Drilling 8mm. |
4.Drill a 3mm pilot hole for the where the T-bar enters. |
|
5.Drilling 6mm. |
6.Finish of the end face. Because it is SS400, it can be sharpened quickly. |
|
7.Marking with center drill. |
8.Drill a 6.5mm pilot hole for M8. |
|
9.M8 tap. At first, tapping with the tailstock while pressing can set the screw straight. |
10.Tapping M8. |
|
11.Cut a 6mm round bar for T bar to 50mm length. |
12.Cut M8 long screw to 71mm. |
|
13.Completed parts. |
14.The stud nut fits into the hole in the arm. |
|
15.25mm spot facing for T-nuts on cross cut threads. |
16.The M8T nut is pushed in. |
|
Screw stud bolt into cross-cut thread if used. |

This is the state where the work piece is sandwiched. Even if the workpiece is small, it can be clamped safely. |
