Description
Technical Overview
This hold down clamp functions as a mechanical fixture component engineered to interface directly with Type 19 T-tracks. Constructed from 6061 aluminium alloy, the unit combines a structural clamp body with an M8 threaded T-bolt and a triangle knob nut. Tightening the knob nut manually draws the T-bolt upward within the track profile, applying downward mechanical force onto a workpiece surface. The contact foot geometry distributes this clamping pressure evenly across the target material to prevent localized deformation or surface marking during machining or assembly operations.
Applications
Woodworkers and machinists deploy this fixture component across custom workbenches, CNC router beds, drill press tables, and assembly stations equipped with standard Type 19 T-track channels. In these configurations, operators use the clamp to quickly immobilise timber stock, composite sheets, or non-ferrous workpieces during routing, drilling, or sanding cycles. Furthermore, the low-profile assembly ensures adequate tool clearance for gantry systems, manual power tools, and cutting heads. It serves as a modular, repeatable workholding solution that can be positioned at any point along the track length to support varied component shapes.

Maker Store Tips and Tricks
-
Pair this hold-down clamp with Type 19 T-tracks to ensure proper channel fitment and slide operation.
-
Use thick timber slabs under the clamping points if necessary to further secure uneven workpieces or distribute high force loads.
-
Ensure the track channel is completely clear of wood shavings or metal debris so the T-bolt head can slide smoothly without binding
- Use thick timber slabs to secure your workpiece!
