13. Vacuum Table s an optional in our affordable Magnum Series CNC Router we offer a vacuum table which is designed to hold materials for random shape cutting This vacuum table is not designed to hold small parts if small parts are being cut a double sided tape and sacrificial material is recommended to use to hold the part down Sacrifice Material is the material placed under the matter which is to be cut this allows you to cut through parts and not cut up your table top Peg board is normally use on the vacuum tables Clamping Material All Magnum Series CNC Routers are come with a versatile T clamp system The clamps can be used to both hold down material and to create reference points for a repetitive jobs that require the same origin It is very important to clamp material securely but not too tighten so that they will not bend or damage the material Taping or Adhering Material When cutting small parts it may be necessary to use double sided tape or spray adhesive to hold the parts in place It is recommended to stick the material to a sacrifice material and not directly to the table Cutting Direction Choosing which direction to cut around the part can be very important in the smoothness of the edge quality of the part Some materials give a better edge quality when cutting direction is clockwise Conventional and other give a better cut when cutting direction is counter clockwise Climbing Note If the outside direction
