I started with those inserts as well, I did try T-tracks… I tried a vacuum table… I am now back to just screwing it down.. :sweat_smile:

1000% best and easiest way to do it. I watch everyone making these super fancy spoil boards and often wonder how long they actually use it like they intended before just screwing stuff down.

I was literally thinking the same. I thought I was some kind of animal for screwing directly into the spoil board

With my cribbage boards being exact size and no through hole. I use blue tape and hot glue on the edge. I also started to use a drill press vice screwed to my table that is working well. Other projects I first drill holes and screw it down vetric will now avoid areas you highlighted clamps screws but not drills unfortunately :confused: Could never get the 2 sided tape to work for me

Palm sander with some 150 flattens them down quickly enough for me

I have done the painters tape and CA glue before (works VERY well) but never tried hot glue. Might have to try that one next time.

I use carpet tape, and then screws. Same as JJ - hit it with the palm sander in between.

okay, nevermind, one more question, what is your solution to control the CNC? At the moment i create my gcode on my maincomputer, connect to the jackpot through wlan and drag and drop the files directly.

then in the basement i just use my phone to connect via WLAN and start and do everything from there. is there a better way? should i get a used minipc with a monitor or old laptop from ebay?

I think you are doing it how most people do it. I do the same for my gcode. I do have a cheap amazon tablet I was using for a while. I think its a “whatever works for you” type situation.
