We cover the exposed parts of our spoilboard with plastic sheet or aluminum foil or whatever, to avoid losing vacuum. But we are only doing drag-knife cutting on it, not milling. We don't have a strong enough vacuum pump to do milling. The one time we tried, the part shifted. YouTube has lots of videos of vacuum routers and you can see everything when they show how to replace the spoilboard etc. Cheers _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
