How to Clamp Wood Slabs on Router Jig or CNC

These innovative hold-down clamps overcome the most challenging aspect of securing live-edge slabs for flattening: grabbing their irregular, bark-covered edges. Sharp teeth on both ends engage the workpiece and the work surface that your slab-flattening jig is mounted on, ensuring that the slab won't move while it's being routed. An internal spring mechanism tilts the clamp up at an angle to make setup easier and to reach higher on thick stock. When tightened down with an included screw, leverage and holding power increase. The clamps adjust to a range of workpiece thicknesses down to 3/4''. A 90° notch between the top middle teeth conveniently accommodates slabs with square corners.
