Thanks Budman,
That will come in handy some day I'm sure.
RICH,
By all means....I'd really like to see the "Atlas".

I actually had a thought, here's the dxf since you'll probably want to run it differently than me anyhow:
EDIT:
I noticed I had the dxf for this table in only half scale, sorry about that.
I have since uploaded the correct 11" X 4" size.

Laser jig is finally setup
This is a simple laser jig setup that I "lifted" from Greolt (Greg) from here and the CNC Zone. He shared his macro and I must say I love it for those "not so precise" setups when you just want to find a quick location of material. I have a lazer button setup on my Mach 3 screen and when I have the laser just over the area I want to start cutting, I just click the button and the X and Y travel over to the exact point the laser crosshair previously was. The Laser holder is made from black acetal.
My vac jig is just about completed and it works perfectly with the 1/8' O-ring gasket. And just so nobody asks, "how the heck is that working?", the black piece of HDPE is just sitting on top of the vac jig to show the crosshairs, it is obviously not being "pulled" down as it's not completely covering the gasket.
I still want to make some side clamps to keep the material from moving laterally when being machined or engraved. Double faced tape is good but If I can get this to work, which it seems to be, it'll make material changes nuch easier and quicker.
My Mach screen really doesn't look that bad but I can't seem to upload a BMP on here so when I convert it, it get's all fuzzy with weird colors..

A shot of the vac grid by itself. It was made from Nylatron and was free so I can't complain. I'd like to do a longer grid someday but this will do for now

Thanks as always, Rich
And yes, you're quite right, Tim, but you knew that already, didn't you -
