RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO]floating z axis

I use that double sided carpet tape alot on templates that I rout with a
regular router (love to have a cnc router or a shopbot!) That would probably
do it. I don't think a vacuum table would be enough (I use a vacuum forming
machine everyday so I know a little about that.)- remember we're talking
about warped pcboard - nice and flat is a different story.

But with tape, every now and then the tape lets go - then I ruin the piece
I'm routing. I'm afraid if that happened with a pc board on a little pc
milling machine I'd break more than the board.

I'll probably tape it, clamp it and still want a floating z axis of some
sort. I was just hoping to piggyback on someone else's experience.
