Greetings, new Buddy owner here…

I recently ordered and received a Buddy48 for use in the classroom. At my last school, I ran a PRSalpha96 and allowed the students to screw their work into the spoil board. With such a large surface area, I didn’t worry about the many screw holes. With the Buddy, I’m looking for other holddown ideas so I don’t have to constantly replace the spoil board.

Also, those of you with the new version of the table…It looks like the spoil board is nailed and glued to the deck. I would hate to surface the table and hit those nails. Are you adding an additional spoil board to the oak ply that you received?

Thanks for you time and ideas!

Matt
