Larger sheets need a larger platform, and 500 x 500 mm gives you room to lay out a full panel rather than cutting it down first. Construction is galvanised iron with aluminium alloy edging and protective covers at the four corners, so it survives being slid about a busy bench. The open grid does the real work: carrying heat away and pulling smoke down and out instead of letting it stain the reverse of the cut. Because it is a passive platform with no electronics of its own, it will sit under diode, fibre or CO2 machines equally well, which is worth knowing if you run more than one type.
Good for
- Full-sheet acrylic and plywood layouts
- Batch-cutting many small parts
- Shared use across several machines
- Heavy daily workshop use
