Frustrating! I just spent about 45 minutes typing this up and hit Submit, and everything looked good. Then nothing!
So I'll try this again.
I have a 24" x 24" CNC machine. I currently have 2 3/4" sheets of MDF copied from CNCRobs setup. The bottom one has the vacuum channels cut in and the top one has 1.25" square grid cut in it. Bottom line is I screwed up the top piece and need to replace it. I was going to use a Shop-Vac for vacuum. Now I'm looking into buying a small vacuum pump off eBay. The ones I am looking at are about .5 HP and pull 7 CFM. My setup has 9 vacuum holes to pull vacuum through the top. I was planning to plug off 7 or 8 holes and only use 1 or 2 and section it off under my spoil board.
Any suggestions? Trying to keep it under $300 as I still haven't made any money with this machine yet.
