According to a woodworking webpage the hold down force can be roughly calculated by: 10 x (length x width of clamping area). So a 1” x 16” pod would have 160 lbs of force. This assumes you system

The amount of force holding the wood down is partially a function of the pod clamping area. The pods I’ve seen are a minimum of 4” square so to get the equivalent force with a 1” wide clamp it

Marty, My thick head is not following this: “ Narrow stock needs to be fairly long to get reasonable clamping force.” Imran

The bar, in my video, is made or sold by Rockler. It sits on the back side of the louver, so is barely visible when the shutters are in place, regardless of whether the louvers are open or closed.

One of the reasons I made mine pods was because the commercially available units were too wide to hold narrow stock. Narrow stock needs to be fairly long to get reasonable clamping force. Sent:

I’m sure someone makes the bar but I don’t know who makes it. I had a local shop make mine. I’m sure they can be painted. I think it would be unnecessary to paint them because they can barely be

I like the look of the hidden bar. Is there a company that makes the bar it white or paintable that would have some type of lever on it to move the shutters vs gabbing one of the louvers? wrote:

A week ago I bought a 2007 CF531 to join the Felder world. I contacted the Felder service department regarding manuals for it. I received a prompt reply the next morning asking the serial number which

The only issue is the narrowest piece you can clamp is about 2". With making your own like you did you can make a clamp to hold less than that. The LV units are made so you can use an air compressor

John, I looked at that model when I was deciding what to do.? I think it's a great design.? Glad to hear you've had a good experience for a long time using it.

Thanks Chris.

Thanks Marty. I figured but did not want to assume. Also was not sure if it is done on one or both sides. Looks like one side is all that is needed. Imran

I've using them for about 10 years. The company is Australian. They been brought up here over the years. The parent company asked if they could post a pic of one of my setups for use on a Festool MFT

I haven't tried them but I think they would work well.? The only reason I didn't buy them is I wanted additional attachment options and the money was better spent on raw materials.

Yes.? It works very well.? The sheet metal was stamped out like a series of the letter "P".? The center of the "P" had a hole for the screw .? The end of the louver, where the metal is attached,

Yes, it’s called a hidden control arm. I show it being installed towards the back end of this video (I posted earlier) But here’s a shorter one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLDgZBv8K7w

So in this design, you just physically move one louvre and sheet metal moves all in sync? Imran

As anyone tried these from Lee Valley? I was thinking about getting a pair. Mostly for sanding and edge routing. https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/hand-tools/clamps/59743-vacuum-clamp-systems

I almost started a shutter company.? I bought the louver material because I didn't have a good dust/chip collection or the cutters.? I don't think I could have made the louvers much cheaper than I

I think the vacuum system would work for some fence applications but not all applications because 1) the roughness of the wood can affect the clamping force and 2) the clamping force will affect how
