Downhold Adapter
Description
The Downhold Adapter will allow you to cut thin material projects, such as puzzles, without the need for tabs. It applies force to the material surface when the final cut is made keeping the part that is cut in position and preventing it from flying off the table. There are small holes in the unit that allow dust extraction.
NOTE: This device MUST be used with a STEPCRAFT Exhaust Adapter for either the HF spindle or the Kress. It takes the place of the brush
