For this build i used 25mm MDF as a base. If thats a bit to thick for your liking you could build parts 03-04 separately and just stop the build at 20mm/15mm.
Firstly measure and mark for drilling at equal spacing ( I did mine at 100mm) but think its a personal preference depending on your type of work pieces .
Drill larger aperture first (35mm diameter ) to a depth of 10-11mm.
Then drill all the way through material with second drill (29mm).
I just used a little wood glue and tapped the inserts down with a mallet. depending on print quality they may need a quick fettle to make sure they seat together with the dogs nicely, but not to tight.
I've used them a few times and they seem to do the trick, i do use a few pieces of 10mm ply when the spacing isn't ideal so i can crank the cams as far around as possible.
I suggest you just print the one set first and check for clearance suitability, hopefully all is well.
P.S: I have just added some extra parts, inc. an adj
