Vacuum table

Hi,

Sometimes friends ask me if I will cut off the PCB on my CNC. So I use double-sided tape to hold laminate on table. But this is not good way. Only THT elements could be cut like that. Sometimes it loos grip, it is hard to do 2 layer PCB. The most problematic thing for me is to use engraving cutter and not destroy it. I have in my workshop 2 vacuum pumps.

So I can use them. Conclusion is clear - to build vacuum table. I check internet for some examples and I made first trial to build it.

CNC almost done

Hi,


Last days I do not have much time to work in workshop, but I try my best. So I am still doing modernization. I bought 2 ball screws and nut to gate (Y axis) move. I had to create mounting bearings and nut holder. I made it on my smaller CNC.
