description Workholding techniques using a magnetic field, a vacuum, or an adhesive can be effective alternatives to clamps. When these techniques are used, more part area is available for the cutting tools, thin parts can be held, and initial setup can be fast and simple. Plus, there is a potential for smoother surfaces and a shorter overall production cycle. Magnets and vacuums work best when the holding force is perpendicular to the part. Side loading with aggressive tools can be an issue with some systems unless there are stops on the work area that rest against the part.
