The holder comprises a rigid frame support an means for mounting the frame for movement along the path. The improvement comprises means for mounting an edge of the board at a first position on the frame and a moveable weight bar for mounting a second edge of the board at a second position on the frame below the first position. The weight bar acts to provide a stretching force to the board for aiding and maintaining the board substantially planar during processing of the board as mounted in the frame.
