D. Vertical Clamping E. Other Clamping Methods

There are many ways to clamp your workpiece to the face plate of the Shop Fox®. However, when clamping your workpiece vertically to the face plate, always use two clamps.

1.There are 3/8" pre-drilled holes that accept our W1301 6" Vice Clamp (not included). These holes are strategically located on the face plate so you can position your workpiece and clamp it from any direction. Figure 8.

2.There are slots milled into the top edge of the face plate to accept bar type clamps (not includ- ed). Figure 9.

3.Standard C-clamps can be used anywhere on the face plate to secure your workpiece. Figure 10.

The 3/4" angle bracket included with the Shop Fox® is used to support and position a vertical workpiece at any angle between ±45° and 90°.

With a little bit of ingenuity you will find that there are numerous other ways in which to hold your workpiece to the Shop Fox®. C-clamps, bar clamps, toggle clamps, and other holding devices will give you the flexibility to create many innovative ways to hold your workpiece in position. Refer to the photos in this manual for some ideas on other clamping methods.

CAUTION: Do not clamp work with squeeze or speed type bar clamps.They do not have enough torque to hold the workpiece adequately.
