Insert the screw through the T-slot into the T-nut and tighten.
6
The clamp strap should be parallel to the material surface. If necessary, place a block
under the back of the clamp to keep the clamp level. Turn the knob to tighten the
clamp assembly.
Using the T-Vac
The T-Vac reduces the need for sacrificial material by holding the material securely on the table
surface without adhesive. With certain materials, you may wish to use sacrificial material or
clamps in addition to the T-Vac. The T-Vac is ideal for materials that are flat. Do not use the T-
Vac with very small materials, porous materials, or materials with irregular surfaces.
To use the T-Vac
1
The vacuum under any table slat may be turned on or off using the valve handles on
the vacuum manifold.
♦
The vacuum is on when the valve handle is vertical.
♦
The vacuum is off when the valve handle is horizontal.
2
Turn on the vacuum only under areas of the table covered by material.
3
To maximize vacuum, cover vacuum holes in table slats which have the vacuum on
but are not covered by material with non-porous material, especially for small parts.
4
Clamps are recommended if the job will be left unattended without the vacuum on.
Using sacrificial material
When cutting all the way through material, you may want to attach the material to sacrificial
material instead of to the table surface to protect the table surface from damage. No sacrificial
material is required when engraving.
