CNC Material Clamping, A New Way. (with location pins)

- In this video I am installing pneumatic air cylinders to use as location pins/clamps for my WorkBee CNC. If your looking to up your production of parts and projects to meet customer demands, adding these pins might be the answer. Combine the pins with vacuum clamps and you have the great combination for quick change overs.
Below is the list of parts I used:
Pneumatic air cylinders

This one is a great idea! Thank you.
Well done
Very nicely done. Ideas aplenty. Cheers, JAYTEE
Thanks for this video! Exactly what I was looking for
Great! I'm happy I could help you out.
Just found your channel some great useful videos giving new ideas and options for clamping. Keep it up
Awesome thank you
Very good presentation. I use the Shaper Origin cnc tool and will try your pin /clamp method as I am tired of using double sided tape. Thanks.
I was also getting tired of the double tape method, let me know how it works out for you.
Yes, the mdf IS porous. you can use it as vaccum holddowns ;) just remember to seal around yor vaccarea and the bottom
Maybe packing tape on the MDF and hardwood as an interface might work
Good idea, I will have to try that out. Thanks for watching!
MDF is porous, this is a problem for any vacuum. You could overcome/compensate for it with a larger volume vacuum pump, but that would get costly. Your packing tape idea is a good one. I haven't tried but possibly just sealing with shellac would help close up the pores in the MDF.
Cool. What you use the black box for? Thanks
The black box is the Control system for the CNC. Here is the link, openbuildspartstore.com/blackbox-motion-control-system/
where did you get the pins from?
I got them from Amazon, here is the link. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0819RRV8X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Hope this helps.
This is fantastic. Thank you. Can you briefly explain why the black box? I do not understand that part. Is it for automation? Do I need one? Thanks again.
