3 ways for stress free CNC work holding

In this video I’m sharing the four things that I found to be very helpful when it comes to clamping material in your CNC machine. I just got this machine so if I missed some great options I’d love to hear about those in the comments. The cnc machine that I have is the Nomad 883 from Carbide 3D but these tips apply to most CNC machines of similar size.

Hi. Congratulations for the new machine. =) That is very compact and fun machine.

Cool video, very informative! : ) Nice engineering. Can't wait to see what else you make on your CNC. Mahalo for sharing! : )

Nicely done! I personally like double sided tape over painters tape but that's all personal preference. Vise and/or soft jaws are also good for smaller repeat work.

Awesome stuff Emiel, thanks for the info! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. There is a good explanation of making the off set clamps design online with dfx files for cutting them.

When removing the project attached with CA glue and painter's tape, you may want to twist it. CA glue has very little shear strength and the project will com up easier.

Great video... Wish my 6040 was as easy as yours to use 😊..

Will you make the files available please

What brand is your double sided tape to hold your work piece to your scrapboard??? That seems like a great hold down when you can’t use the screw holes to hold your work

Well done, you got mentioned by Henk of "de Koterij" btw. You can expect some more Belgians subscribing soon 😉

Cool video. Thanks for sharing. Do you have more info on the CNC machine? (parameters and price) I couldn't find a link.
Searching on the internet I found a Nomad 883 Pro but I'm not sure if that is the same machine (pretty expensive)

what software do you use on your nomad cnc? i picked one up and dont have any of the software that came with it.

Clever thinking my friend. The ‘M’ stands for????
