Fusion 360 Design and make Bamboo Edge Clamp on CNC Machine

In this Video tutorial I make a fixture plate for my new Axiom Precision CNC machine's clamping kit. I had a spare bamboo kitchen chopping board lying around which was perfect for the task. They only cost about $9 from IKEA in Melbourne, so it is a fairly economical way to find quality material that is strong and semi impervious to moisture. This fixture is repeatable and really strong as you can see by the clamping force exerted on the 20mm thick Aluminium plate being held in position. You could also always make this out of HDPE kitchen cutting boards if you have any spare that are thick enough.

In this tutorial style video I show how I recreated the the table of the Axiom CNC machine in Fusion 360 and designed the fixture plate, created the CAM toolpaths and then show footage of it being made and installed. I am very happy with it. :-)

Please excuse my accent and/or any mispronounced word that may have snuck into the tutorial. ;-)
