CNC Pressure Foot Clamping Hold Down System for CNC Router

DIY CNC Pressure Foot Clamping Hold Down System for CNC Router
Model: spindle diameter 100mm/105mm/92.5mm/80mm/72mm/65mm etc

For thin work piece processing, it is not easy to be fixed by clamps and screws. Usually workers press the work piece when the cnc router is working. It is very dangerous. Also the gas or the dust of the workpiece are very harmful to the workers' health, some will cause cancer. Now a good cnc router accessory tools will be very helpful--cnc pressure foot hold down will achieve automotive clamp.

Fix the pressure foot on the cnc router spindle, so pressure foot move with the spindle, and press on the workpiece automatically, keep the workpiece not move up and down. Make the carving precision accurate, the carving product 100% qualified. No need people to press on the workpiece any more, save labor and good to health.

Spindle Pressure Foot Applications:

Suitable for any kinds of Acrylic, thin aluminum board, PCB prototyping, printed circuit board routing, plastic board, PVC board, EVA board, double color board, MDF board, etc, especially for panels within 10mm thickness.

CNC Router Hold Down System Instructions:
Fix the cnc pressure foot on the spindle, adjust the height, then fixed the holding screw tightly is ok. How to adjust the height? Working on panals which is within 3mm, just need keep the bottom of the auto pressure foot and the cutter bit nose at the same level. If panel is 4mm-6mm, make the bottom of the bottom of the cnc automatic pressure foot 2-3mm over the cutter bit end. The rest can be done in the same manner.
Some time for the big panel, we have to use some double faced adhesive tape or instant adhesive to help fix on some key point areas.

CNC Pressure Foot Solved Hold-Down Problems with Small, Thin, Porous Parts

CNC Pressure Foot Solved Hold-Down Problems with Small, Thin, Porous Parts

Many CNC workers having trouble with a particular part on their CNC Routers. For example, try to hold down a small (approx. 4"x8"x1/8" thick) MDF panel for edge routing on all four edges, therefore we cannot use a fence on the spoil board. The part must remain fixed (critical dimensions).

You can try to pin the panel down, but there is a pain since you have to pull the part off the pins and then pull the pins out; not to mention the resulting holes in the part. Double sided tape helps, but is only good for a single part.

CNC pros suggest a range of solutions for holding down small parts during machining, such as vacuum clamping, edge clamping, screws/brad nails, tapes etc, but they are all not good. Now there is a helpful tool, it is a hero to solve these kind of CNC clamping problem—CNC Pressure Foot.

The CNC hold-down attaches to the Z axis spindle of your CNC router machine and provides clamping force directly around the cutter bit. This clamping approach is particularly effective for machining small parts and thin/flexible materials that cannot be held by traditional clamping methods.

1, Small Parts and Letters: Small parts and letters are not convenient to hold by vacuum suction and T slot clamps. Our CNC pressure foot clamping attachment eliminates the headaches while saving time and money.

2, Thin & Flexible Materials: Even with the use of tabs, many thin plastics, metals, and wood veneers cannot be cut by a CNC router using vacuum clamping or edge clamping. These delicate materials are easily damaged by double-sided tape. Our CNC pressure foot attachment provides quick and easy clamping for thin and flexible materials without costly accidents.

3, Workpiece with a lot of holes: Large parts that are full of holes can be a CNC machining nightmare. Without tabs, they don't have the surface area required for universal vacuum clamping and the remaining material is not available for clamps fixing. Our CNC pressure foot does the job without wrinkles, scrapers or chemicals.
