Expand the capability of your CNC machine to cut "impossible" to clamp parts without using tabs or double-sided tape. Our CNC Pressure Foot™ attaches to the Z-axis of your CNC router or CNC milling machine and provides clamping force directly around the cutter - right where it’s needed the most. This targeted clamping approach is particularly effective for machining small parts and thin/flexible materials that cannot be held by traditional clamping methods (without using tabs or adhesives) including vacuum clamping, edge clamping, and screws or brad nails. 

Finding a simple, fast, and reliable hold down method is often the most difficult part of developing a cost effective machining strategy. The parts shown in the photos above were cut with our CNC Pressure Foot™ attachment and came off our CNC machine ready for sale. They were cut without the use of tabs or double-sided tape and without the cost of special clamping fixtures or custom vacuum jigs - no time or energy wasted on prepping materials and no post processing required.
