I have found that the right-angle hold-downs [AKA MDF corner jig] have been very helpful recently during my Small CNC (Laguna IQ) sessions. JohnWickham (@JohnWickham) in his recent “CNC Project: alphabet blocks for a baby shower” said “I used the MDF corner jig aligned with bench dogs and an MDF cam clamp to squeeze it into the corner”. Unfortunately the two current ones are showing a bit of wear. The inside 90 degree surface is a little chewed-up from bits over-cutting into them. So I decided this morning to make some new ones using leftover MDF in the scrap cart. These are in the hold-down / corner jig bin that is at the Small CNC. I threw-out the old ones. If there is any problem using them, please tell me.
P.S. The three darker ones on the left looks to be a denser MDF as compared to the two lighter ones on the right. And I didn’t have the heart to take any t-slot bolts out of any of the existing hold-downs / jigs for those lighter ones.

Much appreciated, Brian! These make work holding on the iQ much nicer.
