D. Vertical Clamping
There are many ways to clamp your workpiece to the
face plate of the Shop Fox

your workpiece vertically to the face plate, always use
two clamps.

holes are strategically located on the face plate
so you can position your workpiece and clamp it
from any direction. Figure 8.

face plate to accept bar type clamps (not includ
-
ed). Figure 9.
3. Standard C-clamps can be used anywhere on the
face plate to secure your workpiece. Figure 10.

used to support and position a vertical workpiece at
any angle between ±45° and 90°.
