An aluminum channel can be used to mount all kinds of motors, solenoids etc.
If your work piece has a parallel body, this technique can be used.
These channels come in different dimensions; select the appropriate size for mounting.
You need a hose clamp to compress the work against the edges of the channel.
Make two slots in the aluminum, the width of the hose clamp, see the image below.
Your work is clamped as seen, two clamps maybe need, one is often enough.
The channel can be attached to a secondary surface using screws.
Tools such as a Foredom handpiece or other hand held rotary cutters are held securely, freeing up both hands.
You can tune your item's position by sliding it on the channel, then tighten the clamp.
All it takes to remove your work is a screwdriver or a hex socket/wrench.
