Is there anybody who can help us with this problem: when we attach a sheet of styrene on the top of our 3-axis router with double sided skotch tape, it is unpredictable when it will loose and by this spoil the finest details. We are trying to discover another way to attach the material on the maschine. If anybody have an idea please share it. Thanks in advance.By the way we are in scale modelling for architectural projects and we use finnest instruments,for example flat 0,6mm tools.

Hi,

There is a product called "Banner Tape" which is like double sided
scotch tape on steroids. You can get this from a sign supply like
Beacon Graphics.

a vacuum plate is the way to go. There may be some trial period involved but
once it's right you wont have to worry about flying parts! I can design and make a prototype if your interested. armybucko@msn.com
