I’m brainstorming a way to hold long pieces of plywood vertically against the side of the MFT/3 table so that I can iron on edge banding. The plywood will be longer than the table so using the top t-track and clamps from the side is not a viable option. I’m envisioning supporting the piece from underneath with a clamp or two to keep it from falling away from the table.

Two paths come to mind.
1) build a couple pieces that connect to the table via the t-track and hang down far enough I can clamp the bottom of the wood.
2) clamp a cross piece between two of the table legs that can support the plywood and clamp to.

If I go with option 2, what kind of clamps should I be looking for that I can then attached to the cross piece?

Any other suggestions for long vertical support on an MFT/3?

Thanks!
 
Make a panel that attaches to the t-track. Put a rail on the bottom of the panel to support the workpiece. If mainly using one thickness of material, you could add another rail, forming a 'U' shape to capture the workpiece.
