Plasma table clamps?

[AD80]

What does everybody use as hold down clamps on their cnc plasma tables?

I could do with either some sort of low profile hold down clamp or maybe a stop to prevent lightweight or small sheets moving when the torch head collides with a part that hasn't fully dropped through the sheet!

My table has wavey slats spaced 2-3" apart.

Cheers,
AD

check out the thread again

the clamps work well even if the slats are wavey as they clamp the material and snug up on the bottom of the slat

That's a great simple solution. Clearly I was over thinking the problem. Every once in a while we get reminded to just get back to the basics. Thx

I have several I've made, modeled on _Ogre's solution. They work great...as long as you have access to the bottom of your slats. As my table has filled up with debris, I find it's difficult to scrape out an opening on both sides for them to get under the slat.

I use f clamps and a piece of 1/8 strap to hold around the edges
