Materials

KREG Automax bench clamps

T bolts

GPO-3 plastic or other strong material, 3/8" to 1/2" (10mm to 12 mm) thick. About 4" x 2" per unit (100mm x 50mm)

A knob, can be shop made.

Nylon Washers

Tools

Shaper Origin

1/8" bit.

1/4" bit.

Double sided tape.

Instructions

Place and cut the top first, and let the 1/8" cutter cut down into the spoilboard a little. Delete the file just cut, then place the bottom file using the same anchor point at the same grid point. Flip the workpiece and line the 1/8" hole up on the holes left in the spoilboard, then cut the bottom. Pockets are just deep enough to flush the hardware. If you have a tool with a large T-slot (example, sliding table saw) the adapter can be used.
