> A vacuum table
Zero cutting forces, but some veneers and thin plywood warp readily, which takes the workpiece out of the focal plane, leading to various inaccuracies.
- mlyle 7y agoYah. Sometimes you may need hold down of some kind, but overall this has been rare for me. I replaced the bottom of my laser with a piece of tooling plate (MIC6) with drilled and tapped holes at intervals, and sometimes will screw down to that and sometimes will put a piece of steel I magnet to in there. But this is like, 1 job out of 500 that I do something for hold down. IMO not even worth the work I put into the plate.
