Pushing forward with the upgraded waste board on the CNC router. set 90 8.75mm holes at 3.1" apart and 10mm deep. This should be sufficient to install the threaded inserts for the hold down clamps. Until now, I have been just screwing material to the old waste board. I've found that although this is very effective method of holding down material, it also causes a lot of extra setup time, waste material, and sometimes complicates design especially on material that must be surfaced.
Unfortunately, no one in this town carries even close to that many threaded inserts so I had to order them, and now I will be waiting until Monday to get the inserts installed. oh well. I guess this gives me time to do some micro-leveling of the surface and to finish my jig for squaring up rough cut lumber on the table saw.
I'll try to get some pictures of the bed and jig posted up this weekend. In the mean time here is a pre-upgrade video.
