I hope to get his job cutting out these 7" block like pieces out of 8/4 beech. the wood will vary in width of course and I don't have a practical way to flatten one side. Not that it is really needed. I found vacuum sucks with beech anyway. I am debating on how to hold it down for fast on and off. I plan on laying the wood out as many piece on my table at once and zero on each corner.
I would put a piece of ply or melemine down for my vac to hold then attach to that with screws or 2.5" finish nails.
myself I like using nails for such things as there is no pre drilling and you can remove the boards when the machine is in the way and running.
I would have to buy the nail gun but it is not a big expensive and this job would pay for it.
any reason or other idea's? Plus if you hit a nail it is not kiss the bit goodbye.
