Drill 3-4 5mm Diameter Holes 10mm from the front and back faces. These will line up with the center of the V-Slot-2040-745mm.

Central to the 5mm Holes Drill a 10mm Countersink Hole 9mm deep for 12mm Material or 15mm deep for 18mm Material.

Using M5-Low-Profile-10mm Bolts fix the Spoilerboard down into M5-Drop-In-Tee-Nuts engaging them with the V-Slot-2040-745mm

Once you have the Spoilerboard fixed in place it is possible to use a variation of methods to hold down your projects such as T-Track or Pronged Tee Nuts.
-
We recommend Surfacing your Spoilerboard once you have your clamping method set as it will make sure your work area is perfectly parallel with your machine.
