System and device for holding a work piece to be machined by a router and use thereof

摘要

A system for machining a work piece. The system includes a router device for routing out a part of the work piece with a router bit and a holding device for holding the work piece while being routed. The router device includes a first reference element and a second reference element positioned substantially perpendicular to the first reference element, both reference elements being arranged so as to guide the holding device in a lateral direction during machining of the work piece. The holding includes a clamping arrangement and a guiding arrangement. The guiding arrangement includes a first guiding element and a second guiding element substantially perpendicular to the first guiding element for guiding the holding device along the first guidance reference and the second reference element. The clamping arrangement is arranged for clamping the work piece with a clamping force being exercised substantially in the lateral direction.
