    Re: Rule of thumb for O Ring Vacuum Hold Down?

Is this correct?
    Yes, that is correct just make sure you move the cutter back to center before you move Z axis up, a cheaper option you can also use small dovetail cutter but won't have the radius corners, they work quite well for not so important Oring grooves.
