![]() I also make my own hold down clamps from F clamps - if doing so it's probably advisable to make the top block a little wider than mine to leave a thicker wall each side of the threaded mounting. I have a Felder clamp which i use with the F3 shaper for tighter hold down, but it makes me nervous as it's a very heavily built bit of kit with steel surfaces which if not used carefully could well damage the T slot. I make my own from a high strength grade of cotton reinforced phenolic material - the advantages being that it machines nicely on a router table, doesn't risk (as might a steel one) grinding through the anodising on the slider and tends to encourage care in tightening/prevent overtightening and damage to the T slot.
