Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Router - Cutting Thin Sheet Clamping??

Low cost solution would be build a wood cutting table on top of your aluminum or metal table . Make sure that the design would enable you to clamp your balsa down using the "C" clamp. I use this concept and it works great.

Best regard,

I am building my first CNC wood router mainly for cutting model
aircraft parts out of 4mm coroplast and thin Balsa Wood (1/16 to
1/8" Thk) and maybe upto 1/4" Ply.

I plan on a vacuum hold down system.

My question is how can I fixture this material so that I can cut
through the entire thickness without destroying my table? I am sure
there are lots of people doing this.

Thanks for any suggestions.
