We purchased a 3020 CNC router to prove a concept (successful) but now are looking at the need to us a vaccum deck. We found a bunch of suitable decks but they all attach to the stock deck...and unfortunate we need almost all of the Z axis and cannot afford to give up 0.5" - 1.5" with a surface mount deck.

If this is not an option, is there a way to increase the Z axis or will we just have to bite the bullet and buy a larger machine? If we are able to successfully mount and use the vacuum tabe to prove this next concept, we will be purchasing a full size table setup to move forward.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
