Making new and better CNC clamps (free templates)

This kind of clamps could also be used on any workbench with dog holes. My hole spacing is 75mm (3").

This is such a clever idea, Marius! I have been searching for a way to use dog holes on a woodworking bench without a tail vise, and I came here after "Zack of All Trades" referenced your idea for the cam system. Thank you for sharing this with us! Also, thank you for explaining WHY your first design did not work, and what little needed to be done to fix it. It's a good reminder to fully explore an idea before scrapping it (which I do all too often).

[@wesleyhands]

Marius, thanks for sharing your videos - I recently retired and finance tight - your videos give me some ideas and I have already made a number of the tools you have shown - Thanks - you are a very gifted young man - thanks

Hallo Marius ! Gratuliere zu deinem KZbin Channel! Erfrischend zu sehen, das sich jemand in deinem alter sich so sehr für ein Hobby (obwohl es ist eigentlich viel mehr, als nur ein Hobby) interessieren kann. Respekt für dein Fleiss und Ausdauer. Deine Eltern können stolz auf dich sein! Keep up the good work! Grüsse aus Ungarn! 👍

[@hudsonriverlee]

Marius, your use of the calipers , I have never seen nor, never myself, thought of. This would be a great way to make a table saw cross cut sled. As I watched and learned of a very efficient way to hold work pieces squared, and secured to the cnc spoil board, I am amazed at the simplicity when your plan came together to the final outcome. Well done Pilgrim.

[@aaronm8046]

This is awesome. I have been searching for weeks trying to find a good clamp solution. This one is by far the most innovative and problematic. Thank you for sharing!

[@billdeverna7534]

Great video!! I have really learned a lot from you. I am 76 years old and have doing woodwork most of my life and I am still inspired still inspired by you and your ideas.

[@bzwax21]

I very much appreciate the fact that you always explain the WHY. I feel like I learn far more than the original topic....

[@Jubilak]

I've been working at a small shop with a big CNC machine for ten years now, and I've made cams like your first version for some special stuff I've had to do. I resorted to screwing the handle down when it was tight and shimming with pieces of edge-banding when the fit wasn't perfect. I only rarely need things like this since we mostly work with much larger pieces (we make kitchen interiors) where the vacuum suction cups the machine comes with work excellently, but I'll keep this video in mind for when I do personal work :) It's a Holz-Her 7120 if you're curious, there are clips of similar machines on youtube. It might be old, but at least it's not a Masterwood 319 like we had before :D

[@JimBeshears]

Marius I am not at all taking anything away from all the work and dedication you have put into yourself over the years, but I would really like to meet and congratulate your parents some day.

[@williamhanlon8159]

I have made and used your clamping system and it has worked great.I look forward to watching more of your video tutorials.Thanks for your hard work

[@veletavieja6460]

I personally use this idea at my workshop, on a 1,5 x 2,5 mts CNC router. Works flawless. Congratulations for your videos.

[@jameswahlberg4466]

Thanks for sharing your design AND your thinking along the way! Watching you think through the issues that arise and your thorough method of working is as valuable as the final template.

[@VincentOuellet-cf9bn]

Seven years ago but still super relevant. Thanks!

[@jason.b896]

Thank you for this. I've been struggling getting clamps to work for a specific project, this was extremely helpful and exactly what I needed.

[@BloodyRainRang]

The outtakes are really a great thing because they show that making such videos is by far not as easy as it looks, even when considering said outtakes, but they still give you a reminder which 99% of KZbinrs prefers to hide. As for the board improvements of the X-Carve, I wonder if they'll offer boards now with these holes pre-drilled, mhm, gotta look that up.

[@lucimorgenstern5582]

This is wunderbar! I never knew cams could be used that way to hold things in place, only knew about their use in things like motors/translating movement. Definitely going to try putting to use.

[@mcnultyfp]

since you care about your English, it's ''so that they always have...' Such skill and honesty, can't wait to see what you're making in ten years.

[@MrBigMalT]

You sir are a genius! This is the best explanation I’ve seen of why the position of the pin is critical. Very generous of you to supply downloadable STL files. I’m just getting into 3D printing so I was able to import your STL into Fusion and 3D print a template, which I’ve used to transfer the design to some ply. Rather than copper pipe, I’ve 3D printed some pipes which just have a tiny tolerance, so they can turn in the dog holes. I used CA glue to bond these to the ply cam levers, and it’s working beautifully 😊. I thought about 3D printing the whole cam lever and pin, but it would have taken hours on my basic printer! Many thanks again and greetings from the uk.

[@patrickwax4441]

Absolut Klasse wieviel Arbeit Du in deine Videos steckst. Man merkt wirklich wie deine neuen Videos immer besser werden. Mach weiter so :D

[@semperparatus3685]

I JUST bought a AVID 4896PRO and this will be my goto clamping system. Thanks for the education and corny humor. Well Done!

[@plodgeyou]

Thanks for that Marius, I have been working on this all afternoon, I have re tensioned the gt3 belts and checked the steps per mm x and y. I had the x and y different values.. I have made them both the same and a 300mm circle came out perfectly. I will try your square suggestion tomorrow.. Made the clamps by the way, they are great! Thanks for your help.. Regards Peter

[@pipercub45]

Love the humor in your video's! Being a beginner CNCer I will appreciate the clamps. Thanks

[@BJEAKE]

Marius - I really appreciate that you did not use the CNC to cut the holes, better skills demonstrated the way you did it. Nice video, thanks!

[@philippstenkamp8558]

Watching this with headphones on I started to look for the ticking clock in my room. Soon realized it is in the video :D Excellent explanation of your cam-levers!

[@scd8418]

Very clever. Love the Fullerton College t-shirt. I took woodworking classes there years ago and live nearby.

[@vikvanderhaeghen200]

Thanks so much Marius, well thought of! I've just today be able to recreate (after some scaling to the templates to match a hole of 22mm on my setup) & they work WONDERFULL. Thanks for improving my workshop 🙂 Greetings from Belgium.

[@mjbohn]

Nice project. Love the editing.

[@weissbornjr]

I REALLY like the idea of the story stick and I'm glad you drilled the holes that way instead of by CNC. Not all of us have a CNC (yet). I would think that, potentially, this would be just as accurate, if not more so, than a CNC--especially if the machine "drifts" a bit and others have reported.

[@tjacksonwoodworker3726]

Marius, I look forward to each video from you. You are very talented. Thank you very much.

[@hansdegroot8549]

I just found this video some minutes ago. Thanks for explaining everything. I do not have a CNC but I'll try to cut out the templates as accurate as possible. I just started to make a "dog hole table" today so I was looking for a good clamping system. It seems I have found it. Thanks.

[@isaacneuman3170]

Hi Marius - I love your videos, you simple but brilliant ideas, and your endless enthusiasm. It's amazing to see myself - an old goat - learn from a young but brilliant guy. I guess Jim is right - I would also like to congratulate your parents :-) Keep up the good work

[@motorcyclelad]

Very well made and quality videos. I enjoy them all. Thank you Marius!

[@gregaltenhofel7326]

Great job. Good that you mentioned it could be used on just about any work table.

[@gregcaton6596]

Wanted to say thanks for the templates! I struggled with the same problem you ran into (in a much more rudimentary shop). Way to go Bud, thank you!

[@denisweimer8791]

Watched the vid. Made the cams. Worked perfectly. Thanks a million!

[@samd3703]

Thanks Marius, i really enjoy watching your videos !

[@Robohac01]

I love your editing (linke magically asking the wood to go trough the bandsaw) Great vidfeo.

[@dannyoktim9628]

Great explanation . . . I learned and was entertained, nice to see your twin helping !!!

[@WoodenCreationz]

Dude this is awesome!!! Needed these on the CNC today!! Brian

[@007okto]

Thanks for explaining your design and for sharing the templates! Had a lot of Fun crafting a clamp today!

[@briancook3013]

Great video and HUGE thanks for linking the template in the description!

[@daniellear6694]

Very nice work. I look forward to making some of these hornberger clamps!

[@Spuc92]

Great video. And fun editing! Great to see a new video from you!

[@nguyenhoangjimmy123]

Many thanks for sharing your project and kept the video posted. It helps me with my current clamp project for my CNC machine. Thanks!

[@brianvanroy1528]

It’s called involute. It’s a special shape where the contact point is perpendicular to the pivot point. It’s found in nature and gears. Great catch. I almost made that mistake and love the content.

[@williamdowling7718]

Wow! This is spectacular quality video. Very well done.

[@johnholinka9361]

Always great. Always educational. Thanks for sharing.

[@atomicworkshop7635]

nice job.. i love the bloopers after each vid ^^

[@jabrown7325]

Very impressed, you’re a remarkable young man, me thinks you’ll do very well in your studies.

[@PiefacePete46]

Another fun, informative and useful video. Thanks again.

[@coulterjb22]

Good explanation on those rotating cam-locks. i tried making those a few years back and failed. Now I know why. Nice job!

[@slobberingdog72]

Brilliant idea - well explained. Nice job !!!

You are a very clever young man Marius!

[@diggerdeb]

Great project. Thanks for the templates.

[@frankmakes]

Nice idea, and great video.

[@jillmoore6142]

I just love your videos. As a retired person, it is so inspiring to see a young person doing something that doesn't involve having their noses stuck in something electronic. Your camera excluded. Keep up the good work? or just

[@felixhelix6171]

Haha, I think you might have made Frank's day by calling him a young person.

[@loonie1989]

Bro thank you so much for this explanation, saw your ultimate video before this one and had the exact same issue. Thanks a million, you're an amazing human being!

[@Stacky18]

Thanks for making the file a download. Appreciated

Hi, thanks for the free templates. Great video, as usual. Saludos desde Argentina!

[@tasso6196]

Just what I was looking for. Thanks, man!

[@spoon761]

It would be interresting to give you and Mathias Wandel the same woodworking task to solve. Just to see which one comes up with the smoothest solution. I really like the genious simplicity of your solutions. Keep it up 👍

[@frankstone919]

Thank you , excellent idea's on both clamping devices.

[@denisweimer8791]

Excellent idea and VERY informative (and entertaining) video! You just gained a subscriber.

you do great videos and projects thanks

[@JamesAmos]

Awesome video man!

[@jaredlewis3232]

I’ve never had a piece come loose with making tape a super glue but I’m definitely going to try your method for certain pieces

[@popaciprianmihai]

Nice job Marius.

[@derekwest2160]

Great work!

[@mikkosha]

I'd just use a pair of wedges and the copper pipes :) Slide the wedges against each other and they exert a force in whatever direction you want :) Also simpler shape => easier to make :D

[@eherlitz]

Nice stuff. I'm building similar Parf guide systems for my benches and tools with the same types of fence but tend to prefer using horizontal toggle clamps (i.e. Bessey STC-IHH25) instead of cam levers.

[@raimunderdwiens1502]

Danke, Marius für Deine Schablonen und für Deine Erklärung der genauen Funktion der Excenterspanner! Ich ge nun runter in die Werkstatt und schmeisse meine erfolglosen Versuche weg und teste mal Deine Version! Nochmal Danke!

[@shelby50411]
