Here is a #diy bench pin from @gingermadeartisan - “3m felt pad bench pin experiment : custom cut 3/4 inch poly carbonate pin allows more productive contact with blade than standard reversible pin. I prefer the flat surface anyway.
Added fiber pad to one side - Reduces vibration and a little noise, levels pin with dovetail clamp which helps cutting sheet, reduces scratches on sheet metal.
The only downside is that the fiber catches on sharp shapes. But so far that’s helped with holding small pieces. It does catch shavings but you can tap out saw dust when the pin is removed.” This is a neat! Thanks for sharing, could also be used for finishing to help prevent scratches on your work.
