Air assist

Post by Paul Ford »

Hi guys,
Just wondering what air assist does in version 4.75?
It obviously has nothing to do with the machine we have here but just curious.
Thanks,
Paul.

Air Assist is an option on Thermwood routers that uses compressed air to pressurize the vacuum table. Instead of pulling the sheet to the table like the vacuum does, it creates a cushion of air that allows the sheet to be easily slid around the table for easy loading and off-loading.

Dave

Hey Dave how's it going?

With air assist in RN 4.75 is it able to be used on CS 40? and if so what do we need for it or how do we go about getting the thing for it?

Thanks

Hi Thom,
Those questions are better directed at your Thermwood sales person.
