What kind of clamps work well to hold work against side cutter forces when the work is temporarily clamped to an angle plate? This is just an initial setup, i.e. before any mounting holes have been created.
I just had some work shift while trying to hold it to the plate with c-clamps. I was using the horizontal spindle, trying to countersink bolt holes to mount it to the plate (using an end mill and G02 due to lack of room for a countersink). I ended up doing the countersink on the drillpress and remounted it to the newly threaded holes in the plate, but I still need something with some clamping force, since this problem comes up regularly when using the horizontal spindle.
