Secure a Workpiece for Processing

What happens here

With the tile gasket securely in place on the vacuum table, you can now place your workpiece, such as a piece of melamine, directly on top of the gasket. As demonstrated, this small piece of melamine, which would typically be difficult to hold for operations like sanding, refinishing, or cutting on a standard vacuum table, is now held firmly by the concentrated vacuum. This method eliminates the need for traditional clamping devices, double-sided tape, or any other adhesives, ensuring that no residue is left on your finished part. You can perform operations like full palm sanding across the workpiece without concern for it shifting.

Goal: Demonstrate the practicality of the tile gasket for holding real workpieces.
