Hey guys, I am going to be cutting out some dog cutouts for a customer out of 3/4" plywood (11 or 12 ply birch). The dog measures 14x10.5". I'm also looking at cutting out smaller parts. So I'm told that below a certain surface area, vacuum cannot hold down small parts due to atmospheric pressure. Two questions:
Does this include a dedicated spoilboard with gasketing where the vacuum will not be opened up at all after the cut process?
The other idea is to ditch vacuum altogether and onion skin the parts, rip the plywood into 2' x 8' sheets, and send through a drum sander to dislodge the small parts. I know the part will be thinner but this dimension does not matter to my customer at all. Has anyone ever tried this? I wouldn't have to set up a dedicated spoilboard for each job if I did this.
Thank you in advance!
