This is not the kind of video I usually put out, just a very quick and rough showing as to how the basement is converting from portables to PPE.
Finished converting my old vacuum forming machines platen to my CNC. This included making a custom valve for the vacuum to the platen and a sacrificial cut surface for the plastic to sit on so I wouldn't actually cut the pegboard. Working well so far. Total elapsed time was about 2 minutes. per shield. Really excited to have this machine up and running for the first time since I bought it over 5 years ago!
