Vector Grid
The Vector Grid, shown below, is the ideal tool for vector cutting. The Vector Grid
reduces backside burning by lifting the material off the table and supporting it on a
black aluminum honeycomb grid.
A precise cut and crisp edges are achieved when the laser beam passes cleanly
through the material into the air space created below. Flow-through ventilation below
the work piece prevents buildup of smoke and vapor, which are drawn directly into
the exhaust outlet. In addition to providing better edge quality, the vector table keeps
your laser clean by trapping the resins and debris associated with cutting materials
such as wood or acrylic.
Note: When using the Vector Grid, make sure your material is in place prior to
focusing.
