clamp some aluminum plates (2 1/2" wide x 3 1/2" long x 1/2" and
1/4" thick) flat to the milling table so that I can surface the top
of the plates. This is not a one time operation, but rather
something that I will need to do all of the time. I was thinking
that a vacuum table might do the trick, what do you think? Any
suggestions. This will need to fit a Sherline metric CNC mill. I
figure I can scale something up or down to fit.

listed in McMaster Carr, but they don't seem to list any that fit
the Sherline 10-32 screw hole that are in the milling table.
