The spoilboard should be directly mounted to the cross-members of the CNC machine with 5 fasteners per crossmember. The DXF file can be used with any popular CAM offerings, including Vectric's popular VCarve PRO. To create your own board, download either the DXF file or the Fusion 360 Project (free for non-commercial use). M8x16mm button head fasteners w/roll-in t-nuts.3/4" thick MDF or similar material that covers the desired work area (usually matching the dimensions of the machine table).This layer/sketch contains the geometry for large slots that will allow the use of F-clamps. Otherwise can be used with most 3/4" size bench dog accessories and clamping systems. This layer/sketch contains the geometry a grid of holes that are 3/4" diameter by default but can be adjusted to be used with MDF inserts allowing use of bolted connections. This layer/sketch contains the geometry for mounting the board to the crossmembers of the machine - this is the only required layer You can choose to implement all three, one, two, or mix in with your own custom feature designs. The board consists of three feature layers.

Both are parameter-driven (parametric), meaning that by going to Fusion 360 > Modeling Workspace > Modify > Change Parameters you can update the size of the board to whatever size machine you have. There are two Fusion 360 project files, one for Benchtop machines, and the other for PRO CNC large format machines. We've pre-configured the Vectric projects to reflect our most common machine sizes, if you don't see your table size listed, pick the project file closest (preferably larger) and adjust as needed based on how many table cross-members that are within the machining area of the router.
