What is the base?
If the model workpiece is fixed directly to the table, the tool may damage the table when it makes the
deepest cuts. Applying a base to the table avoids cutting the table and also enables you to create
positioning frames or holes. It also means stronger adhesives such as glue can be used without damaging
the table.
The MDX-40A machine table may not be completely level in relation to the spindle travel. Surface levelling
the base material will resolve any variation.
