Sacrificial board options

[mitch2374]

I recently purchased MDF from the local lumber store to use on a Gerber Sabre 408 as a sacrificial board. When routing aluminum the water coolant spray swells up the MDF and throws off the cutting depth. Is there MDF to use that does not do this?

Just use pvc it's what came on the machine, and won't be affected by liquids.

Does the vacuum work thru PVC?

No it needs the holes put in it there should be a file in artpath that has it all set up. Mine is in the jobs folder then go to rtp folder. The files holes,mill and pocket for whatever size sabre you have.
