Description

I wanted to create some soap holders with some hinoki lumber I had left and wanted to make it repeatable so I came up with this solution.

This creates a base that attaches to the 4.04 inch spacing on your Shapeoko 5 Pro. I purchased this item on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C26KVD3?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1) which is a "Mini Low Profile Bench Vise Workholding Clamp Work Table for FoxAlien 3018, Masuter, Masuter Pro, 4040-XE, XE-PRO, WM-3020 CNC Router Machine" and also purchased M6 x 15mm threaded inserts. I went with M6 since that is compatible with the existing Shapeoko workholding set. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092Q46QGB?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Notes & Instructions

I had a leftover piece of MDF which was larger than the dimensions here, adjust to your needs.
