All-Aboard Gasketing

All-Aboard Gasketing

To be used either on or in your spoilboard. CRS1225 is a CNC gasketing made from medium density polyvinyl foam. It is coated on one side with an acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive. The foam's 1/8" thickness assures conformability to a wide range of substrates and its 1/4" width of closed cell foam allows a tighter radius for small parts from the substrate on your CNC router.

In Board Gasketing

In Board Gasketing

These foam sealants are coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive on one side.  The product has been created for those high volume applications which require the creation of a permanent or "dedicated" fixture.  The demand to produce greater quantities of a part on your CNC router behooves taking additional steps to construct your Spoilboard.

On Board Gasketing

On Board Gasketing

This style of fixture uses sealants that range in thickness and are coated on one side with a pressure sensitive adhesive.  The On Board group was created for quick runs and job-shop type applications.  If investing the time needed to construct a dedicated spoilboard does not make efficiency sense, yet you still require a strong vacuum pull to hold your parts, then On Board gasketing is your answer.

This product is available in rolls over 48" wide and over 10 feet in length; more than enough gasketing to utilize the entire surface of your CNC router. You will be cutting finished parts in minutes instead of hours.

Spoilboard Cutters
