Looks like I’m going to have to give this a go!
The backplate on HD magnets usually has some threaded holes. I installed a short handle on mine, makes them much easier to insert and remove.
I opened this within seconds of my wife asking when I was going to start working on the cutting boards she purchased.
and I am printing them now
I have printed eight of these, I always over do it, and expect to use them this week. looks to be one of the best accessories for the in a while. thanx again.
Do you have a list of what thickness boards should rest on what level?
Great, I’ll need to get some!
Get the top in the orange zone. No computing needed!
Had a friend make these with his 3D printer for me, he only charged me for the filament which is pretty generous of him. I’m super excited to see how well they work, thanks for the pattern!
@henryhbk actually it would be more rounded/curved so as to be able to accommodate a round cut of wood such as what’s gotten from the craft store or if you cut a circle for one of those sign decorations
Like if I had this cut out and needed to burn it without the crumb tray for some reason. That would be extremely useful for sure
That should sit on the rectangular version (tangent) since I can’t make every possible radius. But easy enough to make a jig like this if it’s a common specific diameter (but differing thicknesses) you do for frequent batches.
I too am printing a set of these!
This is exciting!
Thanks for the design!
Indeed it would be extremely useful. So if you do make a jig for rounds, please share it. I have needed one several times for trays that I do. And not that we’ve bought my husband a new bandsaw (to cut wood thinner), I’ll be making more.
Thanks Henry. I need to print some of these.
I have been looking at a bunch of these so called fractal vices, which might do a similar task, and I think I have a design that would work like that as a variant for that, although honestly I tried a round draft board scrap piece as placed tangent to the sides it held it in place just fine.
I made these 3D blocks and the length is one size, width another, and height is another. So one block has 3 sizes. That works well for me because it supports from underneath items
Just another option.
I have some of those in machinist steel…called 1,2,3 blocks. They’re handy for lots of things.
