Throw some paper or cardboard on top next to the smaller material. It will plug the vacuum surface area enough to hold it steady. I work at a plastic fabrication warehouse. I could send you some really thin polycarbonate or abs to use as cover sheets. The guy that runs the router here has a bunch of them cut to different sizes to cover the table depending on the size of his material, and that cnc is a monster. 6x12ft cutting area up to 4”

I did that Jeremy but a shop vac doesn't have enough suction. I bought a dedicated vacuum pump that should work with your suggestion but I have not had time to hook it up yet.

Very nice. Thank you for that. I especially like the idea with the added spoil board so you can cut all the way through.

Thanks for the video Ted. I’m hoping to do the same size vac table for my CNC with one difference. I’ve just ordered an oil free vacuum pump from Amazon. Fingers crossed. 🤞

Great video, thanks for posting! I hope to make something similar for my own CNC someday.

Great video Ted. Do you think that 3/4" PVC sheets would be a good substitute for the melamine? Thanks for making this video!

Not sure if Pvc is porous. You would need to look up the specs or test to see if air travels through it. You don't want air moving through your vacuum table base.

If you had a cutout sized according to the smaller piece, could you get more suction?

What is the gasket material? what size is the gasket material? Where did you purchase it? You said the dado for the gasket material was 1/4" deep, but how wide?

Nice work! I maybe lost it, how much is your vacuum wattage? I am planning to do a similar format vacuum table and was wondering if a 700W, 24kPa vacuum would do the trick.

Good luck with you table.
@FlyBalloons15 жыл бұрын
Yes you could use 1/4" but shaving off the mdf will make your board more pourous and the vacuum will have a greater pull.

Yeah. That's what I thought too. Maybe the MDF is more porous than it seems?
@jeremymartinez89015 жыл бұрын
Mdf is super porous. The air passes right through. I’m pretty sure there’s a soft grade you can get that has better airflow. Not sure what we order, but he usually surface planes it down every so often until it’s about 1/2” and then scraps it and uses a new one.
@FlyBalloons15 жыл бұрын
der ddd McFadden is porous so air will travel throughout. It is even better if you skim each side to remove the top and bottom layers.

Hi Ted. Good information. Passing on a hint. On another video, for your small parts, Peters video describes a very good solution. newspaper. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7anfc1mrbOckp8.html
