Looking at both bought and home made, I wonder how accurate they are. For example you have a piece of aluminium, say 300mm square, it's even thickness all round, you mount it on the pod, then do an engraving cut at 0.2mm all over the surface, will it work ? Also keep in mind it's no good skimming the surface because then the stock will be of uneven thickness and in some cases this will matter.
One aspect is the gasket, with it being of flexible material it will 'give' due to Z downward pressure.Last edited by EddyCurrent; 24-08-2014 at 08:36 AM.
