    Default Clamping kit for 6040 CNC

    I want to buy a clamping kit for my 6040 Chinese CNC, but I am totally confused with which size to buy.
    The T slot has following dimensions:

    <work surface>
    -------- ---------
    | X |
    -------- ---------
    | Y |
    ----------------------

    I hope above looks like a T-slot.
    The stud should go through X and the T nut head should fit Y.

    In my case X is 8.3mm, y is 13.6mm.

    Which kit should I buy?

    What comes with them is just bolts and straps ... eBay sells more if that's what you want ... there is also a small 6 mm metric clamp kit that might work .... standard American bolt size would be 5/16 and regular clamp kit is 3/8 so unless you just want the step blocks and replace the hardware that will not fit ... the real question is what and how do you want to clamp ... I would think most of the time you would want low profile since z movement is limited ... it always sucks to run into a clamp ... I have used all sorts of stuff to fixture and clamp ..even bolts and fender washers ... sometimes a fixture is the hard part on cnc
