I've just completed the base of my router. I am very happy, after 4 months of designing, things delaying, I think I have entered the phase of assembly.
Looks like my base is about 100 pounds...
Now at my school we ahve a Techno Isel router, T slot table. But we made a small vacuum table for it to hold things about 12x12 size.
I am considering making my table a vacuum table. I have teh setup for it I think. My table is...
a 42x24 sheet of 1/4" aluminum with holes drilled and tapped 1/4-20 every 3" as a grid.
I might just turn a 12x12 portion of the table into vacuum, since that is probably the size I will be working with most.
What are peoples experience using their homemade vac table?
