Our Hybrid Table has become the basis for workholding on CNC Routers, so we decided it was time to start new with a fresh range of clamps designed specifically for the Hybrid Table. With that in mind, we’d like to introduce the all-new Crush-It Essential Workholding Kit. These might be the best CNC clamps we've ever made. Learn More...

In addition to making these from durable polymers, the new Crush-It Essentials and Stops are reinforced with stainless steel hardware making them significantly stronger than anything 3D printed while remaining less of a threat to end mills should you mill through one. To make the kit even more versatile we’ve included 2 sets of jaws for the Crush-It Essentials- a serrated option for maximum grip on softer surfaces and a flat version for use with metals and hardwood. These clamps were designed for use with M6 hardware and are suitable for use on any machine with a Hybrid Table. What's included: 4 x Crush-It Essential Clamps with Serrated Jaws 4 x Replacement Flat Jaws 4 x Crush-It Stops 4 x Essential Clamps 1 x Crush-It Nutz 'n Bolts Kit 8 Ways to Use the Crush It Essential Clamp Kit Crush It + Hard Stops Use hard stops in the back, to provide a reference, and clamp it from the front with Crush It Clamps. Crush It All Around Use Crush It clamps all around a part, making it easy to deal with edges that are not quite straight. Hard Stop as a Reference Use hard stops to repeatably postion your material for repeat jobs. Crush It in T-Slot Crush It Clamps fit in the T-slot on a hybrid table for a low-profile clamping method. Crush It Across T-slot Crush It Clamps are long enough to bridge the T-slots. Crush It with Curved Shapes Position Crush It Clamps around curved parts to hold them securely. Crush It With Sacrificial Material Use a Crush It Clamp to hold a part in a jig for production jobs. Top Clamp with Essential Clamp Use the Essential Clamps to hold your job down from the top. This is a great way to hold thin materials. Crush It Essential Clamps in Detail We spent a lot of time making these clamps the best we've ever made. Here are some of the details. Glass-filled Nylon Glass fiber-reinforced nylon is a solid, tough material that lasts a long time. To add rigidity, glass fiber strands are added to the nylon before molding. This gives you a strong clamp that will be around for years, while still being forgiving to your endmills if you accidentally cut into one. Low Profile Crush It Clamps have a low profile so you can cut the top of your projects without worrying about a clamp getting in the way. When sitting within a Hybrid Table slot, they can stand as low as 11mm above the table- below even the height of 1/2" material. 25mm Width Crush It Clamps were designed with the Hybrid Table in mind. At 25mm wide, the Crush It Clamps can sit fully withing the hybrid table slots to eliminate rotation and to lower their profile. Bright Green Nylon Green is the Carbide 3D color, but it's more than branding. We mold these in green to make them easy to find in your shop, even if you don't keep your work area as clear as you should. Magnetically Springy When unclamped, the Crush It essentials release every time, making it easy to load and unload material. Rather than using a spring, which would have grown the size of the clamps, we use magnets to push the jaw up and out of the way. Magnets keep this clamp compact and easy to use. Metal Inserts Crush It Clamps use metal inserts to protect the clamp from the M6 screw used to hold it down. The metal insert distributes the force of the screw over a larger area, which helps prevent the clamp from deforming, and eliminates any wear on the nylon. It's one more thing we do to make these clamps last longer. 2mm of Jaw Travel With 2mm of throw, the Crush It Clamp gives you plenty of room to get your material in and out. The jaws travel at a 45 degree angle, making it easy to see if your clamp is open or closed, and provides downforce as you tighten the clamp. Uniform Screw Hardware Using the same hardware on the clamps as our Nutz n Boltz kit, we can use a single 5mm allen key for all Hybrid Table clamping. Less tools make for quicker work, and the single pitch rotation makes it quick to tighten down or release. Recessed Hardware Keeping all the screw hardware as low as possible helps ensure an end mill won't hit any stainless steel hardware, keeping your cutters safe. Threaded Inserts You cannot keep threads in plastic for long, so Crush It Clamps include a threaded insert so you can clamp your parts hard without worrying about stripping the threads. Replacable Jaws Mistakes happen, and sometimes you might cut into your clamp. Rather than replace a whole clamp, a single jaw can be replaced. It also allows for different jaws for different materials, making these some of the most versatile clamps we've seen. Flat Jaws Applying the same force to a larger surface area means that your project won't come loose when working with harder materials, like metals and hard plastics. Your project will stay on the table. Serrated Jaws The serrations will dig into softer materials, helping pull your project down and "Crush" the material into the Hybrid Table. This is the recommended jaw for all of your woodworking projects. Four-sided Hard Stop If one face of a Hard Stop becomes damaged or unusable, just rotate it. There are four usable sides to these Hard Stops so they'll last a long time. Chamfers Every edge of the clamp has a smooth chamfer on it, ensuring no corner nicks or burrs keep them from sitting flat on your table. As a side benefit, they feel as good as they look. You won't be able to put them down. Frequently-Asked Questions ▼Is this compatible with Shapeoko 3? No, the Shapeoko 3 does not have a Hybrid Table. If you have a fixture plate with M6 holes, you can use these clamps. ▼Can I buy additional jaws? We include extra jaws with this kit, but we do not offer them separately. ▼How does this compare to the Get-a-Grip Kit? The Crush-It clamping system provides more force for holding your parts, compared to the Get-a-Grip Kit. Most people will never even notice, but once we tried them out, we fell in love with them.
