Has anyone made slats for an HDM waste board? If so, does anyone have the specs for the 6mm holes in the slats?

Thanks

Isnā€™t HDM a bit expensive for a waste board?

Not sure what you mean? I wanted a 110V Spindle & my only option was the HDM. Iā€™m concerned if I donā€™t have a waste board and I cut through material, I will damage the aluminum bed?

Iā€™m just being old school, where Iā€™m sensitive to spending too much. :smiley:

I think Tex was making a funny. ā€œHDMā€ is a premium grade of MDF specifically for machining

Youā€™d have to ask them. I donā€™t see them in the shop. You can get a Nomad wasteboard for $30.
Perhaps they would sell you slats, but I imagine theyā€™d be much cheaper, and quicker, to make yourself.

Carbide 3D does not sell the slats ā€” theyā€™re just too heavy and cheap to be sold at a reasonable price ā€” pull a good slat and use it as a template to make a new one.

I went to the local Re store and bought a 20.00 desk. Took the desktop to cut slats for my machine. The rest went to test cuts.
