I want a vacuum table!

[Tenson]

I'm not sure I get how that works? Is it the sucker-cup action, rather than the vacuum pulling through the mats that holds the work? So when the seal on one sucker is broken it will still keep the vacuum seal. Since there are lots of them, even if a few are broken it will hold most work shapes. Then why do they say the mats have tiny holes, if it is the sucker action it wouldn't need it?

..hmm maybe those small holes are just to stop the suckers being pulled right onto the vacuum plates when no work is on top?

I wonder how well it works with less smooth materials like MDF.
