Show us your vertical clamping methods!

I started a project that is going to need a lot of dovetail and mortise and tenon joints - so what better time to finally get on the vertical table train.

a couple things i wanted out of mine.

  1. set angles to lock material in quickly and accurately
  2. multiple vertical positioning to batch out several boards in one go
  3. multiple clamping methods to give the most flexibility (t-tracks aren’t in yet)
  4. easily take in and out due to my flip top table and utilize hold down methods on the existing table to lock the vertical table in place.

overall i am really happy with how it turned out. i made the MDF face as a test, but it turned out so well i may just keep it - i was planning on building it out of baltic birch as i typically do with all my jigs, but this works really well.

designed in Fusion 360

each angle is at 5 degrees from 0 to 60 as well as a 22.5 - seen some really good examples of this i liked - Jays for the most part.

dogs are 20mm and I can’t tell you how satisfying it is at the precision in which these slide in and out.




used the table to cut out the legs on the side. short video of how well it works
