    Default 1" Thick Spoilboard

    Any harm in using 1" ultralight MDF for a spoilboard? I typically use 18mm, but would like to go thicker, to lengthen the periods between replacement.

    My vacuum consist of 4 motors mounted directly to the underside of the table.

    Thanks

    Using as spoilboard, it mounts directly to my plenum. (Not sure what a bleeder board is?)

    bleeder board means you are using a vacuum and sucking air through it to hold down parts
