We mill/engrave thin sheets with the help of a vacuum table and a sacrificial MDF plate. We drill holes through the MDF plate and assure bonding of the sheets with the help of o-rings in grooves. One can reuse the MDF plate. We are milling the whole piece in one setup, which helps with the accuracy.
Another question was whether it would make more sense to lasercut this project. A good laser cutter should be ableto come down to 0.01" or smaller in width. |
