6: Using the Work Holding Clamp Rails
To clamp the workpiece:
1) Adjust the spacing between the
upper and lower clamp rails, if
necessary, so sufficient areas
of the workpiece can be
securely clamped. To increase
the “gap” between the upper
and lower clamp rails, loosen
each of the two innermost allen
bolts (turning anticlockwise,
when viewed from above).
Always use at least 2
clamp rails to clamp the
workpiece.
Additional clamps
should be used to
support longer or
thinner workpieces
(ensure these clamps
are positioned in areas
where no machining will
occur).

2) Position the workpiece under the top U shaped sections of each
clamp rail. Using a 5mm allen key, tighten the innermost allen
bolts (turning clockwise, when viewed from above) to lock the top
U shaped sections onto the workpiece. Check that the workpiece
is secure before commencing any machining operations.
