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.
