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

Hi, first some use mdf or a piece of material to sacrafice during cutting,
or make the top like a jig, so the cutter hangs below the outside of the
holding table. or a slot where the cutter runs, vacuum on both sides of the
slot, but not the slot. cul brian f.
