Has anyone had experience with loading in fixtures to hold purchased stock like wood rounds that are close to the same dimension every time would like to know if I should just CNC router an aluminum bracket or laser cut a guide out of 3/8 inch mdf
As I don’t have a cnc I would go the laser cut out of ply/mdf method. But, an aluminium bracket would be better in the long run as it won’t warp over time.
I make leather coasters and use two layers of thin plywood cutting circles out of the top layer that hold the parts. The layers are held together and to the table using two sided tape.
