Very helpful. Where can I find the Flip Milling Bracket you mentioned?

Michael, you can find the Flip Milling Bracket in the final workpiece of the Easel project. Click the 'open in Easel' button (above) or "use this link.":easel.inventables.com/projects/QfhCXCqYn6v9SfaM9b…

What size screw do I need for the clamp?

Raymond Fuller · January 25, 2019

The screw can be any length, provided it is an M5 screw (the same as the X-Carve clamps). Hope this helps!

The bracket does not support the post Nov 21 x carve waste board holes. By my calculations it would be 3.125 in center to center on the hole because the holes are 3.375 inches apart from outer edge to outer edge then minus 1/2 of the .225 twice for both holes plus or minus .10 of an inch
