I saw this really interesting post where someone cuts fonts or letters into end grain: See link Below: [image] Jointly, the CNC Typeface Jointly, the CNC Typeface: Jointly is a typeface designed for CNC cut joinery in wood. For as long as wood has been used as a construction material, there has been joinery. From dowel joints of flat pack furniture, to the half-lap of a log cabin, to... Does anyone have such a setup with their onefinity? Because if you want to mill the end of of a long board or plank, you will probably have to remove the wasteboard and build a special clamp to hold the end of the board tight enough for cutting. I find it quite interesting, as I always thought cutting end grain would result in a lot of splitting and cracking. But I am curious to give it a go. [image]

There’s a bunch of posts on vertical clamping and holding just look in the search feature of the forum [image] My table with vertical holding Machine Setups Yes, I know 4x4 is overkill, but I had a bunch of this left over from my outdoor kitchen build so why not? as you can see in the center (sort of), are two acme 5/8 x8 screws for my moxon type vice for vertical holding as i plan to do lots of drawers both dovetails and finger joints. The vice will be there permanently, and a removable table and spoil board insert will cover it. In fact, the vice is designed to actually hold the insert in. I have the handles coming Saturday. i will post many more …

Thanks Ken5 My current set up is with QCW Frame and Stand so will look around if I see anyone has tried vertical holding with the Stand Cheers Fred
