Home : CNC : X-Carve : 
The fixture is a combination square and wasteboard that allows routing multiple pieces using the same home position. While the square is not particularly square, it does allow for reasonably accurate repetitive (re)positioning. The example is one of three marble mazes that were routed with a bullnose bit and then repositioned and through cut with a straight bit.
The fixture has 5mm holes on 75mm centers (same as the X-Carve) that allow positioning and clamping anywhere on the table. There are also some special 2 hole clamps for clamping 1/4 and 1/2" stock to the fixture (example stock is 3/4)... The smaller square/wasteboard has two possible positions to allow more flexible clamp placement. The fixtures are stored in the lower right hand cabinet.
