3018 MDF Spoilboard Scale Grid for 3018 CNC Router

MDF Spoilboard with Scale for 3018

Precautions

• Make sure the MDF spoilboard is secured well to the machine bed.
• Make sure the CNC material is clamped tight to the MDF spoilboard / machine bed, or you will get vibration, chatter, poor cut finish, and can possibly break your cutting bit.
• Do not use any lubricant when you use an MDF spoilboard. It will swell and expand if it gets wet. So using spray or mist coolant or oils is not recommended.

Compact Hole Distribution

Compared with the original MDF spoilboard, the hole distribution on this upgraded spoilboard is more compact. This makes it easier to fix various sizes of material and hold down clamps.
Recommended Clamps:

• 2Pack Aluminum Clamps
• 4Pcs Clamp Kit
• Cold Rolled Sheet 4Pcs Clamp Kit

Scale Grid Design

A scale grid in centimeters is pre-printed on the spoilboard which makes the fixed position of the engraving material clear and accurate.

This spoilboard is greatly compatible with 3018 series router machines, including Genmitsu 3018-PRO, 3018-PROVer, 3018-PROVer Mach3.
