Summary

Another mix of the standard Milling Machine hold downs. I wasn't happy with the performance or design of the others, and the lack of source files to customize always annoys me... so, I drafted up a set in Inventor 2014. These are setup to work with 5mm bolts but you can customize the source files as needed (or scale your STL along the width axis to elongate the 5.5mm opening for the clamp bolt. If you scale the length, you'll need to scale all of the parts correspondingly or the mating surface between the step blocks and the hold down bars won't align anymore tho!

Update: I changed the hold down bar to remove the bevel from the top side. This allows for easier printing (print the bars "upside down" with the teeth facing up) without a need of support or fear of warping during the print if printed without.
