Spring Clamp

[steelbyneal]

Hi All,

A while back i remember coming across an article about spring clamps for material hold down on the plasma table. Does anyone have a link or drawing on this ?

Doing a little aluminum diamond plate and getting some torch contact with material.

Thanks,

Google; Destaco clamps for over-center type clamps.

Have you tried flipping the diamond plate over and cutting from the back?

There is a guy on the Yahoo group PlasmaPig that designed a nice hold down clamp that works great on a PlasmaCam machine. That site is for owners of PlasmaCam machines only....so if you have one have your serial number in hand and you can join up...it is a great group. Go on the site and search for hold down clamp...there are pictures, etc.

I cut aluminum tread plate with the bumps up....my height control climbs over every one with no collisions....does a great job on this material.
