Re: Router - Cutting Thin Sheet Clamping??

I'm mulling a similar problem: I'll be cutting veneer for marquetry
pieces. I'm considering hide glue, or elmer's and an iron: coat the
two surfaces, let them dry then fuse the two surfaces. Has anyone
used this technique?

secert! You will need some double side tape (like carpet tape), try
to find the paper kind, just easier to work with, and a roll
of "transfer tape", you can find this at your local sign supplies, or
ebay.

want to clean the wood first, so it will stick better. Then use
small pieces of double sided tape on the transfer paper in different
places (like the corners, middle, just ramdom places) . This will
hold down you wood to your router table.

thickness ( in thousand of an inch). You have to know how to
calibrate you cnc router to the top of the material, so you can set
you "Z" depth to the thickness of the wood your going to cut. If you
done it right, the router bit will just kiss the transfer paper
(transfer paper is about .005 of an inch thick), and you will have
some very nice parts (without flying out the table or getting damaged
by the router bit!)
