I bought a set of Rockler vacuum table components. Now I just need advice as to which vacuum pump will be reliable. I am leaning towards ROBINAIR single stage due to it's name brand and price.
Any advice? Thanks.

Re: Using CNC to route edges on a board
I would like to just edge route small plaques. Couldn't I just position the bit at the correct X Y Z coordinates and pretend it's just an upside down router table? I do not have a a big shop and only the one router that is attached to the cnc machine.
