OK, you're all gonna get downright sick of my questions, but I am not bashful - and I will continue to ask them.
Still on plastic laminate.
Yesterday I make a sige on 1/16 plastic laminate. Romark value matte. The sign was 8" x 24"
It's pretty flexable stuff.
I put 3 rows of 1/2 double sided tape lengthwise on the back and stuck the laminate down to MDF. I then router the letters. The face of the letters is not smooth. The laminate flexed and moved causing the 1/16 end mill to dig in some places. This is obviously not a great way to hold something flexable.
I do not have a vacuum table.
What options do I have to hold something like a large piece (8"x24") of flexable laminate in place so I can engrave it?
Need pics???
