Some experienced machinists make their spoilboard much thinner, but we recommend starting with at least a ¾-inch thickness. If that happens, you may damage your router table. Some recommend MDF or LDF board as thick as 1¾ inch thick.īear in mind that, though you can use thinner boards, you’ll be more likely to cut through them accidentally. However, many CNC experts prefer a board that’s at least ¾ inch. Your preferred CNC spoilboard thickness is ultimately a matter of preference. What it comes down to is, would you rather spend more time or more money on your wasteboard? How Thick Should Spoilboard be? HDPE board can be expensive when compared to the other options. While these boards can give you better results on intricate workpieces, they also generate less traction. HDPE is one of the newer CNC spoilboard options and has the advantage of a smooth face. It has a much smoother face than either MDF or LDF and is more affordable than HDPE. The main application for plywood as a spoilboard is when you’re doing intricate work. It’s ideal for dusty projects that require an effective vacuum pump. LDF is also lighter in weight and more porous. LDF board, or low-density foam, has most of the advantages of MDF. It’s not as smooth as finished plywood or HDPE boards, but it’s readily available and can take a lot of abuse. It’s hardy, easy to work with and relatively inexpensive. MDF, or medium-density foam, is one of the most common choices for a CNC spoilboard. Let’s discuss the differences between them. The two most commonly used are MDF boards and LDF boards. You can use various substances to create a spoilboard. Spoilboards also help to ensure that the router cuts smoothly by creating extra traction and providing more space to clamp the workpiece. It protects the factory surface table from sustaining damage during processing while the tool works through the active material. What is a Spoilboard?Ī CNC spoilboard (often referred to as a sacrificial or bleeder board) is a disposable work area that attaches to the top of your router table. But what is a spoilboard, and how does it help? Below, we’ll answer these questions and more like them. The correct CNC spoilboard can mean the difference between an excellent project and a mediocre one. ![]()
